Altaf Raja pulls a Tom Cruise

The singer, who is making his comeback with an upcoming Emraan-Vidya starrer, dresses up like Cruise in Jerry Maguire

That singer Altaf Raja is making his comeback to Bollywood music with UTV Motion Pictures's next, Ghanchakkar, is news that’s been around. But we’ve now been informed that the singer will dress like Tom Cruise from Jerry Maguire (1996) in a special video that's being shot for the film.The song, 'Jholuram' also has lyrics such as 'I'm back', which is what gave directors the idea to dress Altaf like Tom.

A source close to the production reveals, “It was a spontaneous decision to have Altaf dress up like Tom Cruise. The director wanted to do a fun take on Jerry Maguire. Altaf didn’t hesitate and did exactly what was expected of him.”

Ask director Raj Kumar Gupta about this and he says, "It is a quirky video featuring Emraan (Hashmi) and Altaf. It will be very different from what people have seen him do before. It will be very funny and we are awaiting audience reaction.”
