Srk's Relaistic Look

Take a breath, think Lara Dutta running through a forest in Kaal wearing three-inch hooker boots and a leather mini skirt! Well, not for long. With bollywood shedding its uber glamourous skin, the threads too are increasingly getting ‘de-glammed’.

Take Shah Rukh Khan in Chak De India for instance, no designer glasses, no ed-hardy T-shirts, no dinner freshly plucked off the shelves of international stores. Instead, it’s all about shirts, trousers and mismatched basic trackies and basic keds! And, that is what has had people, swooning, “he’s looking by far his best,” was what a designer said.

The idea as Shiraz Siddiqui, the man behind SRK’s look in Chak De says was to not treat Khan as a superstar, “Then it tends to get a little disconnected from reality,” he says adding that Kabir Khan’s threads are probably one of the most ‘realistic looks’ that he’s ever had.

“The character is about a man with no fuss and the clothes had to depict them, they couldn’t have been anything OTT or glamourous. We weren’t showing him as a coach in London or Brussels that we could give him wacky designer sportswear. The character is very simple and basic, not contrived,” Siddiqui laughs!

Though Chak De isn’t the only torch bearer as bollywood takes its first ginger steps out of wedding catalogues, stylists had ventured out in their quest for the real touch even in movies like Yuva, Rang De Basanti, Omkara and even Swades. Be it Abhishek and Rani’s styling, Soha Ali Khan’s rasta chic and Kunal Kapoor’s kurtas in RDB or Saif and Vivek’s rustic persona in Omkara, the focus was on keeping it real!
