"In the film, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, Emraan Hashmi plays a gangster based in Dubai, who’s obsessed with Dimple Kapadia. There’s a song where Emraan and his girlfriend (played by Prachi Desai) watch Bobby and then Emraan gifts her with Dimple’s outfit.” Says a source.
It’s a passionate sequence which has Emraan and Prachi getting drawn to each other. Initially, the demure Prachi was reluctant to wear the bold outfit but director Milan Luthria managed to convince her."
Prachi, says, "Emraan’s called Shoaib in the film. I play his conservative Muslim girlfriend Mumtaaz. Bobby was a big hit at the time the movie is set in. Shoaib is inspired by multiple real life personalities and one of them had a fascination for Dimple’s Bobby persona. Hence Emraan is seen gifting me with outfits that she wears in the film.
Prachi says she was initially hesitant, "Dimple looked so gorgeous that I didn’t want to be compared to her but Milan convinced me. In fact, Milan gave us a month to work on our bodies for the song. While he wanted Emraan to flaunt his six-pack in the song, he wanted me to tone down my body."
She adds, "The scenes were shot over a few months. Emraan is one of my favorite co-stars and I am most comfortable with him. I was clear that we wouldn’t kiss, though."
