Pablo Escobar

Drug lord Pablo Escobar inspires Manoj Bajpai

Though he’s playing Dawood Ibrahim’s brother Sabir in Shootout At Wadala, Manoj Bajpai’s entire look in the film has been modelled on Pablo Escobar, the Colombian drug lord who was killed gruesomely in 1993. The resemblance to the notorious crime-lord is so uncanny that director Sanjay Gupta claims one can switch pictures of Escobar with Bajpai’s <em>Wadala</em> look without anyone being able to tell the difference. Escobar’s look, we may add, has been the source of inspiration for generations of Columbian youngsters.
