When Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was released, I wished I could work with him and someone up there heard me, and Devdas happened! When Sanjay announced Saawariya, I wished again and my wish was fulfilled, yet again!†laughs Reza. Working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali is both tough as well as easy. Tough, because he is very clear in his mind as to what he wants and does not compromise, easy because neither do I!†Reza had to design mainly for the lead, Ranbir Kapoor. “His costumes were mainly khakis, whites, and maroons. Authenticity is what I was told to bring out, so I have used a lot of vintage fabrics like velvets, a lot of layering, more tone on tone; but everything is muted, nothing screams. These are normal day-to-day clothes but put together differently. I also had to design Muslim, Anglo Indian, Colonial British and some Hindu costumes in the hues of blue and green and it was a refreshing change to make authentic clothes from a bygone era.â€<br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>
