Ajay's new role inspired by Bono

By Zakia Uddin, Bollywood Reporter

Ajay Devgan's latest role as a rock star in the forthcoming musical London Dreams was based on Bono from U2.

The feature co-stars Salman Khan as his childhood friend and fellow band member.

Director Vipul Shah said: "I've modeled Ajay's rock act on Bono, the Irish lead singer from U2. Bono was never your quintessential rock star. He had a more sober and a less wild image.

"When Ajay gets on stage in London Dreams, he replicates the curbed tempered-down rock star's image of U2. Yes, I modeled him on Bono."

He added: "So far we've only seen him in a sedate or comic image, never as someone who can cross the frontiers and do something outrageous."
