Costume designer Rama Rajamouli talks dressing the cast for a musical battle between Indian revolutionaries and British colonizers in Variance Films’ wildly kinetic epic.
Olivia Morris joins Charan and Rao in the dance sequence in a lace and satin crepe gown inspired by the kanakambaram, or “firecracker flower.”Clad in double-breasted, slim-cut jackets and high-waist, pleated trousers, the outsiders make their requisite slow-walk into the fete. “You look amazing in your suit,” says Jenny, fawning over Bheem, as she ignores smarmy self-proclaimed “best dancer,” Jake .
With their superhero physiques, the pair’s tailored suiting feels forward-thinking and revolutionary compared to the British men’s more traditional three-piece suits and tuxedo tails. But costume designer Rama Rajamouli emphasizes that she maintained period authenticity, which she found to be the biggest challenge — especially after her last two collaborations with the director in the fantasy genre.
Pulling off the pivotal dance sequence was no small feat, requiring a team of 12 arriving four days before the approximate 16-day shoot in Kiev. Rajamouli estimates they custom-made “between 120 and 140” ball gowns in India, while purchasing and altering around 100 in Kiev for background. The ladies’ pastel palette, in a limited range of hues, reflects British women’s fashion in India at the time.For each hero, Rajamouli custom-designed six suits in a breathable, non-wrinkle cotton French terry.
