Shruti Hassan is making her big dream debut in Luck opposite Imraan Khan. Here is what the designer, Binal Shah, had to tell us about Shruti’s look and dresses in the movie.
Though Binal Shah is not a trained designer, she has always been inclined towards the field. She has put her talent to test in husband Soham Shah's new directorial venture, Luck. She has given some fabulous designs for Shruti Haasan, Chitrashi Rawat, newcomer Snita Meher and Rati Agnihotri.
Luck is an outdoor action film and I knew what basic costumes to use. I have the female cast in very sporty, adventurous and outdoor kind of outfits. I shopped for all of them in Dubai, and kept it very real.
Shruti Haasan’s look: Since this is her debut film, I kept it very real. It was great fun working with her as she was open to work with. I had a great time styling her because she has a fabulous body. She worked very hard for the bikini shot. She was thin, but you know, girls, even if they put on a little weight, they think they have grown fat. So she worked very hard. In a matter of two months, I could see a drastic change in her.
I have given her a lot of blacks and earthy browns, since it is an action film. I have given her good boots, denims and gloves. She wears only one watch throughout the film. She is very simple in the film, so I have given her glamourous outfits for the songs. For Jee Le, she had four changes. I gave her a black short leather skirt with revettes and a criss cross sequined top with seven inches heel footwear.
Of course, the talk of the town is her bikini in the film: I bought a simple plain black bikini and embellished her top with mother of pearls and chunks of different coloured thin shells.
The scene is shot in the swimming pool, hence the bikini. It was shot in the night, and hence I wanted something more to the bikini than just plain black. It would look boring. I tried other pearls and Swarovski but that didn't look good.
