Baghban

From BAGHBAAN to EK THI RANI AISI BHI - It's the look factor for Hema Malini

Internationally acclaimed designer Neeta Lulla worked 48 hrs for dreamgirl Hema Malini's forthcoming venture "Ek Thi Rani Aisi Bhi". It seems that the designer was very excited when Hema mentioned about her latest venture. The actress explained the role of Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia in this biopic directed by Gulbahar Singh. Neeta is known for giving Aishwariya Rai the stunning look of Jodhabai in Ashutosh Gwarikar's 'Jodha Akbar'. She has proved her mettle as one of the finest costume designer in hindi film industry. "Hemaji has always fascinated me as a personality," says Neeta. The designer had to work 48hrs nonstop for the final look of Rajmata. "Actually we both had time constraints so I had to work round the clock to give Hemaji the look of the Rajmata. I did my own research and Hemaji also gave me a reference book which helped me a lot. I tried to give her a different look in Baghbaan and people loved her the way she looked in the film. Hope even this time people will like it," she says. Incidentally, it was Neeta Lulla who gave Hema Malini the stunning look in Ravi Chopra's Baghbaan which is tagged as Hema's comeback film. The shooting of the film will start from end of November. The film is produced by Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Smriti Trust.
