MUMBAI: Actor Imran Khan seems to be following in the footsteps of his uncle Aamir Khan as he insisted on growing a moustache for his role in underworld drama “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2”.

Bollywood’s chocolate boy has turned into a “tapori” for the film, a sequel to 2010 hit “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai”.

According to sources, the actor was given an option to use a duplicate to avoid hassles of growing a moustache, but Imran decided to do it himself to look closer to his character.

Directed by Milan Luthria and produced by Ekta Kapoor, “Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai 2” also stars Akshay Kumar, Sonali Bendre and Sonakshi Sinha.

The actor will also be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj’s “Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola”, where he will play a Haryanvi guy. It also stars Anushka Sharma, Pankaj Kapoor and Shabana Azmi.
