Imran Khan's 'tapori' role in 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai' sequel is modelled on the looks of Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff from the 1980s

For his upcoming gangster film, Imran Khan had been busy doing his research to come up with the perfect look of a tapori. Buzz is that the look has now been finalized and it is going to be inspired by Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor, straight out of the 1980s.


A source says, `After doing films like I Hate Luv Storys and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, Imran was hell bent on getting a makeover. His look in the upcoming film with Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha will be very different from the past.`


Imran had even sent several members of his entourage to pick up clothes and other things that ooze of the tapori look.

The source says, `It was finally decided that his look would be a blend between Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff of the '80s when each of them epitomised the tapori look through their films.` Imran's friend tells us, `Imran feels Anil and Jackie were the most stylish men from that era.`
