Rohit Shetty who paid a tribute to the 70s in his last, Golmaal 3 with Mithun Chakraborty's character is all set to take his 70's inspiration a step further in his next.
The Ajay Devgn—Kajal Aggarwal starrer Singham, Shetty has not just drawn inspiration but entire fight sequences from 70's blockbusters Amar Akbar Anthony and Zanjeer.
Ajay Devgn who plays a angry young cop named Bajirao Singham in the film titled after his character, will be seen enacting the same cuts and chops and mouthing the same dialogues in the film.
A source revealed, "The famous scene from Amar Akbar Anthony between Vinod Khanna a cop and Amitabh Bachchan the goon has been re-enacted in Singham.
The scene has Vinod Khanna unbuttoning his police uniform to beat up Amitabh. In Singham, Ajay Devgn who plays a cop, does the same to Ravi Beasant. In fact, the dialogue between Ajay and Ravi are similar to the ones between Vinod and Amitabh."
And that's not all. "There is a scene similar to a scene from the 1973 hit Zanjeer as well. The scene where Pran walks into a police station and tries to sit on a chair, which Amitabh Bachchan kicks away and says, 'Jab tak baithne ko kahaa na jaaye, tab tak chup chaap khade raho,' has been re-created in Singham. In this film, the scene has been picturised on Ajay Devgn and Marathi actor Ashok Samarth," added the source.
Seems like Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn are all set to recreate the 70s magic on screen with Singham. "Rohit wanted to pay a tribute to the 70's and also to the original angry young man of Indian cinema, Mr Amitabh Bachchan," said the source.
When contacted, the official spokesperson from the film confirmed the existence of the scenes in Singham and added, "They are used as a tribute to the films of 70's.
Rohit and Ajay have grown up watching these films. These are iconic scenes and we have tried to pay them a tribute through our film."
