Rajinikanth starrer 'Kaala's' teaser just came out and it has sent the audience into a frenzy. Rajinikanth, as usual, has managed to grab eyeballs with his spectacular acting. The film's costume designer Anu Vardhan revealed how challenging it was for her to make Rajinikanth look powerful in a simple costume. "It is, in fact, more tough when you are doing it in a simple manner. The challenge is to ensure the viewer does not get bored of seeing the hero in the same clothes through the movie," she said.
"Did you notice how fit he looks in the teaser," Anu asked. "During the shoot of 'Kabali', he was still recovering from his bout of illness. But he had worked out well before 'Kaala' which meant his sizes had gone down and it was a well-toned body. He is always an energetic person but on the sets of 'Kaala', he was even more so," added Anu. "Rajini sir wears kurtas often in real life so he is very comfortable in them. We did paneling on the shoulders to ensure the kurta fitted him well, to do justice to his physique. We also did some embroidery work. All the kurtas were linen and cotton. The goggles that he sports added to the intensity on his face," she added. Well, they certainly managed to impress the audience with their look. Stay tuned for more updates.
