As a tribute, he wanted audiences to get a sneak peak into Amitabh's past movies and incorporated those elements into the character of Genius - The Genie that would instantly find a connect with the audiences.
"When you have someone like Mr. Bachchan working with you, you naturally become a lot greedy. You want to talk to him about his work over the years, the way he approached his character and then also try to present him with a characterisation that he has never been seen in before," he said.

No wonder one can already see Amitabh shaking a leg a la "Pag Ghunghroo Bandh" in "O re Saawariya" with his pink 'pagdi' and trademark white 'kurta' intact. His song "Tak dhina dhin" too has a "Jahan Teri Yeh Nazar Hai" flavour to it.
Moreover, there are also certain scenes in the film that are inspired by the Big B's old movies.
A co-production of Sunil Lulla from Eros International and Sujoy Ghosh's Boundscript, "Aladin" also stars Sanjay Dutt as Ringmaster, Riteish Deshmukh in the title role and debutant Jacqueline Fernandes as Jasmine.
