Super hero dressed as a Mughal emperor?

The look Abhishek has been given for his next film Drona is a bit unusal to say the least. It isn't the usual spandex or lyra outfits worn by Hollywood super heroes, but is almost an outfit out of a catwalk of Delhi fashion designers presenting a Pre-independance look show. Not that it looks bad, just that one usually doesn't associate super heroes or even people with mystical powers to be dressed like a prince or Nawab from Lucknow.

But to his credit AB carries it off as he is tall and lanky and the initial promotion has him standing in a very dramatic and decisive pose. But the important thing is if the story is good, entertaining, plausible, the movie is well made, and finally the performances. Many a good movie has crashed due to awful performances by supposedly good actors.

I somehow find the story quite appealing as it combines our beautiful and rich history with the modern era. If this movie does click then it will spawn a hash of movies trying to break "the barriers" so to say.

Also looking forward to see Piggy chops in an action role and also get a well desrved hit under her belt. Poor chick has been facing a lot of flak for her Love story 2050 debacle.
