Begum Jaan is all set to release this week and costume designer, Rick Roy reveals how cooperative the cast was with him, especially Vidya Balan. Having a big star on the set means quite a lot of interference, however, that wasn’t the case with the actress, reveals Rick. In our exclusive interview with the costume designer, he stated just how game the diva was with whatever was offered to her with not one bit of complaint or interference. We asked Rick as to what was Vidya’s first reaction when she saw the costumes that were offered to her for her role as Begum Jaan.
He said, “To be very honest, Vidya does not interfere. She believes that certain things that she is unaware of, she shouldn’t interfere. Being such a big star on the set, you would expect her to be involved with a lot of aspects of the film. But Vidya never interfered. She respects the person and the work they do and I think that’s great. Apart from telling me that I need to loosen the stitch at some places (fittings), she never told me what to do.” Well, we can be sure of that, as the actress was always present, whenever the designer needed her. Rick had revealed to us how he dropped by at her place at 11:30 in the night to ask her to try out looks and she didn’t decline.
The best part was that the entire crew was very supportive. Srijit and Vidya were always a call away. At once I called up Vidya at 11 in the night and as her if she could try a look I made for her. She said yes and at 11:30 I was over her place, checking if the look is right,” he told us. During our chat he also said how Vidya stated that she wouldn’t comment or try to alter things she has zilch knowledge about. Begum Jaan is set to release on April 14 and also stars Gauahar Khan, Pallavi Sharda, Ila Arun, Naseeruddin Shah, Chunky Pandey, Vivek Mushram.
