Earlier too, actors like Amitabh Bachchan donned various get-ups in films featuring him in double/triple roles like Don, Mahaan, Do Anjaane and Aakhri Raasta. Dilip Kumar in Dastaan and Dharmendra in Jeevan Mrityu are other examples of the same.
Currently, Shah Rukh Khan, a la Amol Palekar in Golmaal, is sporting two looks, 1)9-to-5 plain John in regular clothing 2) jazzed up Joe in flamboyant jersey and track pants, in the eagerly awaited Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
