Gurukant Desai could not have come alive without Abhishek Bachchan! The actor has done complete justice to his power-packed character in Mani Ratnam’s Guru. Abhishek plays the role of an ambitious rebel who dares to set up an enormous business in his village. From Turkish jackets and berets in the first half to khaadi dhotis to the Gujarati “vaaniya” garb, Abhishek has carried off diverse looks through the movie with utmost ease. Waah guru! -

Role: Bhai Saab
Movie: Omkara
Naseeruddin Shah plays the role of a political leader in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Omkara. His character demands him to look spiteful and dominating- and essentially North Indian. So Naseer went completely bald for this role, and wore Indian dhotis. He added a pair of black glasses to his garb for the ultimate bhai saab look. -

Call him Mr. A or Aryan – Hrithik Roshan surely won back the heartthrob status after his stint with Sanjay Gadhvi’s Dhoom 2. Stylist Anaita Shroff Adjania devised his look so as to make him appear scruffy (because he plays the role of a thief) yet sexy (because he has fab abs that can not be ignored). With black leather jackets and breezy shirts, Hrithik stole the show all along in Dhoom 2. -

Role: Eklavya
Movie: Eklavya
When AB plays the royal guard, he knows he has to look exactly like one. Amitabh’s efforts to get under the skin of Eklavya are evident through his attire. Since the movie is set against the backdrop of imperial Rajasthan, director Vidhu Vinod Chopra knew that the look of the protagonist had to be traditional. He roped in designer Raghuvendra Rathore, who comes from a royal family himself, to design the costumes and the turban for Mr. Bachchan. AB tried several false beards till he found the right one to complete the brawny “royal guard” look! -

Role: Umrao Jaan
Movie: Umrao Jaan
If Abhishek was cut-out for a Gurukant Desai, Ash was cut-out for an Umrao Jaan! Could anyone be more graceful to carry off traditional Indian clothes, and yet manage to look appealing? The costumes and jewellery, of course, were perfect, given the backdrop of a kotha in the Lucknow of olden times. We wonder if anybody except Ash would have been able to play the role of a courtesan as beautifully as Rekha did in Muzzafar Ali’s Umrao Jaan.
