Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan is once again making headlines, this time for his influence on a fashion critique of Pierce Brosnan's recent appearance at Wimbledon. On July 15, Canadian menswear expert Derek Guy took to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss Brosnan’s look at the 2024 Wimbledon finals, drawing a sartorial comparison to Bachchan’s style in the classic song "Rimjhim Gire Sawan."

In his review, Guy referenced a clip from the 1979 film "Manzil," where Amitabh Bachchan, clad in a double-breasted jacket, walks through a rain-soaked street with co-star Moushumi Chatterjee. “The length allows the maker to lower the buttoning point, creating a longer, sweeping lapel line. Torso also looks less squat. But agree, Brosnan still looks great,” Guy noted, praising the timeless elegance of Bachchan’s outfit.

Pierce Brosnan, who attended the Men's Singles final at Wimbledon in a navy blue double-breasted Ralph Lauren suit, was critiqued by Guy for his choice of jacket length. “Brosnan looks better than most men can ever hope, but I think he would look even better in a longer jacket,” Guy tweeted, suggesting that a longer cut would enhance the former James Bond actor’s appearance.

This nod to Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic fashion comes as the 81-year-old actor continues to stay in the public eye. Recently, Bachchan expressed his disappointment on X after Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic lost the Wimbledon final to Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz. “Feeling depressed after my favourite player got defeated by Carlos,” Bachchan shared, while also acknowledging Alcaraz’s brilliance.

On the professional front, Amitabh Bachchan is basking in the success of his role in Nag Ashwin's "Kalki 2898 AD." The legendary actor also made a notable appearance at the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Up next, Bachchan is set to feature in Rajinikanth’s highly anticipated Tamil film, Vettaiyan.

As Amitabh continues to shine both on and off the screen, his influence on fashion and cinema remains as strong as ever, even inspiring critiques of Hollywood icons like Pierce Brosnan.
