Did you know Akshaye Khanna wasn’t happy with Dhurandhar look initially? Costume designer reveals what he said to them

Published by Parlour News

Actor Akshaye Khanna has been enjoying a fresh wave of acclaim for his chilling turn as the ruthless Rehman Dakait in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar. Now, the film’s costume designer Smriti Chauhan has revealed that the actor was deeply involved in shaping his character’s appearance and even rejected his look initially. Akshaye Khanna’s Dhurandhar song Fa9la has gone viral. Smriti Chauhan on Akshaye’s look Costume designer Smriti Chauhan spoke about working on Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller in the latest episode of Unfolding Talents (UT) on Digital Commentary channel on YouTube. Chauhan shared that the original plan was to dress Akshaye in pathanis. However, the actor had other ideas and suggested mixing it up by having his character also sport kurta-and-jeans ensembles in the film. “We gave him kurta-jeans as well. It was a very important input by Akshaye sir himself, that we should not forget that he is also from the streets. It made a lot of sense, because we also see his rise in the film as he progresses to join a political party later …

When Madhur Bhandarkar joked budget of Tabu’s Chandni Bar was equal to the costume budget of Kareena Kapoor’s Heroine | Bollywood News

Madhur Bhandarkar is best known for his gritty, hard-hitting women-led films. However, he believes that the grit and glamour varies in each of his projects and therefore requires a different budget each time. For instance, he once quipped that the total budget of his 2001 National Award-winning film Chandni Bar was equal to just the costumes budget of his 2012 film Heroine. “I made the movie (Chandni Bar) on a very small budget. So much so, that I once jokingly told Kareena (Kapoor) that I had made Chandni Bar on a budget that was smaller than what I spent on her clothes in Heroine (laughs),” Bhandarkar once told a leading daily. The filmmaker added that he didn’t get enough budget for Chandni Bar because he wasn’t an established name back then. His debut film, Trishakti (1999), starring Arshad Warsi, didn’t work at the box office, which made it an uphill task to secure a decent budget for his sophomore film, despite the fact that it starred Tabu in the lead role. “When I approached producers …

Here’s How Dune Stars Battled Heat While Filming The Franchise!(Photo Credit –Facebook) The most high-tech gear on the Dune set wasn’t just the sandcrawlers or ornithopters. It was hidden inside the costumes. Around 400 of the nearly 2,000 outfits used in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune came with built-in cooling tech. It wasn’t sci-fi. It was survival. With filming set across scorching deserts, overheating wasn’t just a concern. It was a constant threat. Enter Oscar-nominated costume designer Jacqueline West, who took the mission of blending function with style and ran with it. According to West, they created what she described as a “micro sandwich” of fabric layers that wicked away sweat while allowing air to circulate. She told The Hollywood Reporter, “When there was a breeze in the desert, there was a cooling effect on the wearer — and the actors said it really worked.” These weren’t your average movie costumes. They looked like desert gear straight out of Frank Herbert’s Dune pages but with a modern twist and much more tech tucked in. And while the …
