Ajay Devgan’s Character In London Dreams Inspired By U2’ Bono Ajay Devgan |
London Dreams, which is the latest venture of Vipul Shah, has numerous surprises in store for the movie buffs. On of them is that Ajay Devgan will be donning the role of a strummer, which is inspired by the Irish singer Bono, who is lead singer of the rock band U2.
"So far we've only seen him in a sedate or comic image, never as someone who can cross the frontiers and do something outrageous”, Vipul Shah said.
"No, not quite the reckless renegade. I've modelled Ajay's rock act on Bono, the Irish lead singer from U2. Bono was never your quintessential rock star. He had a more sober and a less wild image. When Ajay gets on stage in 'London Dreams', he replicates the curbed tempered-down rock-star's image of U2. Yes, I modelled him on Bono”. Vipul Shah added.
Interestingly, Salman Khan is not essaying any major character in London Dreams. "He plays a more improvisational musician whereas Ajay plays a more professional rock musician”, Vipul Shah explained.
The director has already shot all the on-stage performances except one. "I wanted to see how the other stage performances look before shooting the last one. I was afraid they'd all look the same. But they've all come out differently. And Ajay looks like a rock star in the truest sense of the word”, he said.
