Priyanka Chopra's latest look in her upcoming film Teri Meri Kahaani bears striking resemblance to Mumtaaz's iconic sari that she wore in the song Aaj kal tere mere in the 1968 Shammi Kapoor-starrer Brahmachari.
It's not the first time that an actress of recent times has revived the old Bollywood fashion.
Here's looking at Priyanka Chopra's contemporaries who brought retro back in style in recent films.
