25 May
Summary
- Costume designer faced a unique challenge with Ranveer Singh's sleeve request.
- Finding stretch fabric for linen kurtas required extensive supplier searches.
- The film utilized a restrained color palette of grey, black, brown, and blue.
Smriti Chauhan, costume designer for 'Dhurandhar', detailed the creative hurdles in crafting Ranveer Singh's on-screen persona. A significant challenge arose from Singh's desire for sleeves that projected masculinity, specifically requesting a stretch material for linen kurtas.
This seemingly simple request presented a complex execution problem. Chauhan's team embarked on a nationwide quest, contacting fabric suppliers across India to find swatches of stretch material compatible with linen's texture. The goal was to achieve a specific look without compromising the costume's overall aesthetic.
The film's visual language was carefully constructed using a muted color palette of grey, black, brown, and blue to complement its intense atmosphere. Additionally, the tailoring of Singh's kurtas focused on accentuating his character's physical presence.
