Ajay's act in 'London Dreams' modelled on Bono |
|
Mumbai, Aug 25 (IANS)
Ajay Devgan as a rock star strumming away the heated
strings on stage is a hard act to swallow. Not for
Vipul Shah who has modelled the Bollywood star's
'rock star act' on the Irish singer Bono in his
forthcoming movie "London Dreams".
 "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," Shah, who hasn't quite
converted the actor in an outrageously punky rock
star, told IANS.
"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."
The gritty sweaty ambience, the riveting guitar
licks, the angst-filled vocals and the screaming
hysterical fans... Ajay goes through the rock
motions in the film with elan.
Interestingly, Salman Khan has no particular image
in "London Dreams". "He plays a more improvisational
musician whereas Ajay plays a more professional rock
musician," said Shah.
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." |
