There is even a dialogue in the film to justify his personal statement.

Bachchan has been styled by Leepakshi Ellawadi for the action flick. Puri Jagannath didn't give her a specific brief. He simply told her to listen to the character and dress him up!

Says Leepakshi, "Puri Sir provided me with the dialogues of Bachchan Sir from the movie. He wanted me to make a mental picture of the man after hearing his lingo. And then go about styling the character."

Several brainstorming sessions later, it was decided to make the Big B look peculiar, a bit outlandish...something that stands out.

Leepakshi accompanied the star on a shopping trip in London. "We picked up a lot of stuff several high-end labels. Of course, several alterations had to be made."

The Big B did express reservations. "He'd keep asking if he'd be able to carry it off and if it would look good on him. I would tell him ufffd you are Amitabh Bachchan, you can carry off anything."
