There is a buzz that Ajay Devgn has given the idea to portray Emraan in a womanising role in 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji' based on Akshay Kumar’s character before marriage.

 

Emraan’s character chases after the girls in the flick and it is said that Ajay gave this idea to director Madhur Bhandarkar to model the character on Akki. Even Emraan’s character is named Abbi in the movie

 

A source said, "Popular as Khiladi all over B-Town for his escapades with the fairer sex, the pre-marriage Akshay was definitely an inspiration. Here, Emraan's character is an Abhay Suri, nicknamed Abbi (to rhyme with Akki?). It was Ajay's inputs that made Emraan's character more colourful. He told the director that he's worked with Akshay and he could give a few very useful pointers."

 

However, Bhandarkar claims this all to be false saying, "There are so many characters like that, why single out just Akshay? I have drawn traits from a lot of people I have met over the years, many from my friends. Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji is about three guys and their relationships with women. Emraan plays a womaniser, a free-loader who believes in flings but not love."
