Ranveer Singh-Sonakshi Sinha idolise Dev Anand-Sadhana for their Lootera characters?

Cine-goers and movie critics are eagerly waiting to see the chemistry between a brand new onscreen couple, Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha in their upcoming film Lootera. Now expectations have been raised further as it has been known that their characters in the film are inspired from yesteryear superstars Dev Anand and Sadhana.

As a source informed, "Though in terms of their overall appearance, Ranveer and Sonakshi don't bear any similarity with Dev Anand and Sadhana, it is in terms of recreating the bygone era where some obvious inspirations have come into the picture.” The source added, "Especially for the songs, it is pretty clear that the golden days are being revisited. One such song of Dev Anand and Sadhana that made it to the top of the list was 'Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar' from Hum Dono.”

The source further added, "Director Vikramaditya Motwane wanted to capture the silent feel for a key song sequence in the film. Half a century back, a lot was said through expressions and the eyes did all the talking. The same has been repeated for 'Sawaar Loon' in Lootera and 'Abhi Na Jao...' formed a good basis for that.” When contacted a senior official at Balaji said, "When you are making a film set in the bygone era, there are bound to be inspirations. Lootera is one of the most simple, pure and beautiful love stories to come out in Bollywood. Not many know but there are major dramatic twists in the romance as well." We have to wait till July 5 to watch out how this inspiration materialises finally in the film Lootera.
