Karan Johar's films have always been stylish, thanks to the ace designers he ropes in. And Dostana is nodifferent. In fact, truth be told, the producer has outdone himself. The cast comprising of Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan never looked so eye-poppingly good as they did in the promos doing the rounds.
And it is all thanks to designers Akki Narula and Manish Malhotra. Read on as they tell Nithya Ramani how they worked their magic. Excerpts: Priyanka's sexy look -Designer: Manish Malhotra -As the movie is based in Miami, a place full sun, surf and sand, we decided to go with the holiday look. Priyanka's character is a fashion editor, hence her clothes need to be stylish and chic.
When it comes to colours, Priyanka always prefers grey, black and white. But for Dostana, we decided to experiment with bright solid colours like the ones in the citrus family. Keeping her chic look in mind, we decided to tone down the accessories. You will notice that none of her dresses have any embroidery or designs either. All her outfits are mainly in satin, chiffon and georgette.
Throughout the film you will find Priyanka in shorts, formal jackets and bikini tops. I personally like people wearing casual blue jeans with a formal jacket. So I gave her a pair of satin golden shorts with formal jacket to go with it. She wears them to work. The best outfit of Priyanka would have to be her tan denim dress.
Talking specifically about her swimsuit, I knew I wanted metallic colours either in silver or golden. I picked up the swimsuits from Miami. As the Desi Girl song is a formal occasion, I decided to go with a sari. I gave it a western touch by making her wear a long silver sequined skirt. The bikini-type blouse too gave the look a western touch. Here too she is not wearing accessories.
In the Maa Da Ladla song, I have designed Abhishek and John's outfits too. Karan had seen my Couture Fashion Week collections which consisted of sherwanis. So I gave the boys golden lined sherwanis. They are very funky though traditional.
Pooja Gandhi has donned a swimsuit for her latest film, Kodagaana Koli Nungiththaa, which hits theatres on Friday.
Directed by Vasu, the film also stars Jaggesh .
"I will be seen in a swimsuit in a song sequence. Director Vasu sir convinced me that I had to be shown that way because of the character that I play. This will be a different type of role for me and particularly in the second half of the film where I have got more opportunities to act," she said.
This is the kind of woman you don't wanna see in bikini unless some one is making a horror movie
