Sushant Singh Rajput s look demanded extensive research, say designers

Mumbai June 12 (IANS) Actor Sushant Singh Rajputs look in Raabta was custom crafted and took extensive research says Harsheen Arora who co-owns with Vipul Amar the Delhi-based personalised leather apparel and costume brand The V Renaissance.

The film has had extensive research go into it with the sets the costumes and looks all specifically designed to recreate an era gone by in an ultra-realistic fashion. The costume designer Maxima Basu specifically sought out and worked with us Arora said in a statement.

The aesthetics the fluidity of motion and an intense focus on details which are the hallmarks of our brand became integral to the curation Arora added.

Basu says he wanted a customised detailed leather armour for Sushant.

I approached The V Renaissance for Sushant s wild warrior look because I wanted customised detailed leather armour which had a unique look -- from the colour and texture of the hide to the form it would be casted in -- all very specific to the environment of Jilan.

I was truly impressed with their leather craft and felt they could come up with leather patterns that have not been explored before Basu said.

Directed by Dinesh Vijan Raabta is a romantic period drama film co-produced by Vijan Homi Adajania and Bhushan Kumar.

The film which released on June 9 also features Kriti Sanon and Jim Sarbh in lead roles.
