Imran Khan essays a Muslim character for the first time in the forthcoming "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara". Conventionally seen as an urban lover boy in his earlier films, his first-ever mass role of Aslam promises to make him as much a favorite in the Muslim community as his uncle (Aamir).

The actor will sport a Firoza, a blue stone that Salman Khan has been wearing for three years now.

While Salman wears his Firoza embedded in a silver bracelet, Imran will wear it in a different form.

Wearing the Firoza stone is holy among Muslims and Imran feels good about owning one now. He is believed to haev sourced it from Bhopal, his hometown.

In some scenes in the film, he will even be seen in a Pathani suit.

While Akshay Kumar plays Shoaib, Imran's character is the former's protege, who is torn between duty and love.
