We spoke to the designer as he decodes Salman’s ‘new regal look’ from the film. Recently, exclusive pictures from the film sets were leaked, revealing the fact that Salman is playing a prince in the film. Talking about Salman’s look, Raghavendra said, “Salman plays the character of Prince Vijay Singh in the movie and his regal look was put together with the inspiration of a real modern aristocrat. He will be seen dressed in classic cuts that are contemporary with a hint of old-world charm.”

Reports also suggest that the designer, along with Ashley and Alvira, has designed 12 different looks for the actor, emphasising the milieu the film is set in. “Ten to 12 royal looks were prepared, keeping in mind the brief given by Alvira and Ashley, while maintaining Salman’s individual style,” confirmed the designer.

For years now, fans have only watched Salman rocking it in casual shirts, T-shirts and denims. The traditional ethnic look from the film will definitely be a welcome respite, assures the designer. “Salman has been dressed in fresh new designs and color tones hot-off-the-runway, a collection which was put together meticulously over the course of a few months,” signs off Raghavendra.
