Saawariya set to release on November 9 : costumes for the male lead Ranbir Kapoor by the National Award winner Reza Shariffi

Saawariya, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all set for a world wide release on November 9. Saawariya which means "beloved" will mark the debut of two of the biggest star kids of Bollywood, Ranbir Kapoor (Rishi-Neetu) and Sonal Kapoor (Anil Kapoor).

"Saawariya" is a timeless story of two young star-crossed lovers whose passions almost consume their will to the brink of self-destruction. In this eternal tale of an ode to romance, stand two lonely souls whose childlike innocence and candour only obscures their inner turmoil, anger, anxiety and desperate wait for love.


The costumes for the male lead Ranbir Kapoor is designed by the National Award winner Reza Shariffi. “His costumes were mainly khakis, whites and maroons. Authenticity is what I was told to bring out, so I’ve used a lot of vintage fabrics like velvets, a lot of layering, more tone on tone; but everything is muted, nothing screams. These are normal day to day clothes but put together differently. I also had to design Muslim, Anglo Indian, Colonial British and some Hindu costumes in the hues of blue and green and it was a refreshing change to make authentic clothes from a bygone era,” he said.

Meanwhile, the costumes for Salman Khan, Zohra Sehgal and Begum Para are designed by Rajesh Pratap Singh and Anuradha Vakil designed the costumes for the two female actors Sonam and Rani Mukherjee.
