Every character tells a story. From the intense looks of a thriller to the vibrant energy of a festive song, I design costumes that bring the narrative to life on screen.

This is the final look for Kubbra Sait's character, Mehwish, in 'Son of Sardaar 2'. The sparkling, sheer mini dress was chosen to celebrate her character's unapologetic and chaotic energy, making a bold statement in her final scenes.

Another shot of Mehwish's final look, capturing the dynamic and confident attitude of the character. The styling, complete with playful hair and strappy heels, was all about creating a memorable, high-fashion moment.

Another portrait from the 'Shaitaan' styling session. The focus here is on creating a mood through simple, classic menswear pieces that allow the actor's performance to take center stage.

For this look, we added tinted eyewear to Ajay Devgn's ensemble. Accessories like these are subtle but powerful tools in character styling, adding a layer of mystery or coolness to the persona.

Styling the incredible R. Madhavan for 'Shaitaan'. This portrait captures the sophisticated and intense character we built for him, using a dark, structured jacket to create a powerful and enigmatic presence.

About More Film & Character Work

Costume design is more than just picking outfits, it is about defining who a character is before they even speak. Whether I am adding tinted eyewear to build a sense of mystery or choosing a specific jacket cut to project power, every fabric, color, and accessory is a deliberate choice. I work closely with directors and actors to ensure that what you see on screen is an authentic reflection of the script, not just a surface-level style statement.

I believe that every costume acts as a narrative tool. I don't just dress actors, I build characters from the ground up, ensuring every piece of fabric, eyewear, or accessory serves the plot. Let's create a visual identity that resonates with your audience.
