'His looks had to speak before he could even deliver a dialogue' says Rocky Bhai's stylist Saniya Sardhariya

Ahead of the film’s release Yash’s stylist decodes the costume designing for the larger than life character of Rocky Bhai.

“The costume designing that revolved around creating Rocky Bhai for Chapter 1 and 2 was one true to the other but then it had to be connected yet worlds apart. In Chapter 1 you see this henchman, who is street smart, with a natural swagger. He has that vibe of an 80s streetfighter, in Chapter 2 he looks like a business Moghul, criminal, he had to exude power. His looks had to speak before he could even deliver a dialogue. My costumes had to have a very strong narrative, speak volumes so we did a lot of look tests, we did research, it was quite a process and an amazing journey to say.”

She also mentioned that Yash himself too had given many inputs regarding the same and how they worked as a team for 8 years. “Yash has been like a mentor. Rocky Bhai is a character that is close to everyone but for me, what he brought to the table was far more than being just a hero. We created Rocky together, he was an integral part of my research. We did so many brainstorming sessions and looked out for details because it was all in the details,”

Saniya also gave credit to the captain of the film Prashanth and producer Vijay for extending unconditional support.
