Directed by Milan Luthria, the film also stars Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha. Imran Khan, who plays a gangster in forthcoming underworld drama _Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara_, has

taken inspiration from the 1980s stars Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor for his look in the film. "I wanted to model this character on the 1980s heroes, especially the biggest ones then

like Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor. They were the biggest style icons of the 1980s," the 30-year-old said here Friday while promoting the film at Radio City. "This boy is from

Dongri and obviously he will watch Hindi films and he will be inspired by his heroes. So, I have taken a lot of inspiration from Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor for styling, shoes, hairstyle

and moustache. So, the whole look has been inspired by that," he added. Right looks for characters in period dramas are important. "When you are making a period film, it is very

important to convince the audience that the film has actually been set in a particular time period. Every single detail is very important, like how collars were done and hair were

styled," Imran said. "If there is one little thing that is out, they will get pulled out of the film. They will stop believing that it is a 1980s film," he added. Directed by

Milan Luthria, _Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara_ also stars Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha. A sequel to Balaji Motion Picutres' 2010 hit _Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai_, _Once Upon A

Time In Mumbaai Dobara_ hits theatres on August 15.
