Even Salman noticed the similarity. “I loved Peepli Live, especially my character in it,” Salman said, when asked whether he had seen the movie. “I thought he (Rakesh) should have been more justified. But they killed him off.”
Director Anusha Rizvi, too, admits, Basically, Rakesh is from a small town and he’s probably seen Salman’s posters featuring that bracelet. Since imitations of those bracelets are available for R 10, we used that.”
