Ace celebrity fashion designer, Rocky S, is the man behind the outfits designed for Akshay Kumar, superstar Rajinikanth and Amy Jackson in S. Shankar's directorial, 2.0. The film, which hit cinemas yesterday, has received a thunderous response from the audience and is clearly heading towards breaking several box-office records worldwide. And Rocky too feels blessed to have collaborated for this project that is turning out to be a mega-blockbuster. Speaking exclusively to BollywoodLife, the man revealed how he bagged 2.0, what went into the making of the cast's outfit designs and much more.
Rocky, who has worked with S. Shankar earlier on a song which featured Yana Gupta, says he was called to Chennai to discuss if he was interested in doing another project with the director. And he immediately said yes. Ask him why? "Because he is a legend and one of the best directors in our country. In fact, when Shankar sir told me that Rajni Sir (Rajinikanth) is also a part of the film (2.0), I said this is the best opportunity that I could ever get."
As we continued chatting with him, Rocky eventually revealed what went into the making of the outfits for the lead cast. "Before the shoot began, we did work for six months, travelling to and fro, to find the right fabric. I had been to London for the fabric. In fact, certain costumes were made in Los Angeles as well," he said. He further added that the process of designing the outfits was continuous and it went on for two years until the shoot ended.
Out of all the outfits he designed for Akshay, Rajinikanth and Amy, Rocky said it was toughest to come up with Akshay's designs as, for the first time, he was doing a character which is completely out of the box. While elaborating on this, Rocky revealed that Akshay has not one but three different roles in 2.0. Talking about the one wherein Akshay essays the character of an old man, Rocky revealed, "He is playing three different roles. One of which is that of an old man. So, we had to keep the costumes natural. For that, we had to distress the clothes."
When we quizzed the designer on whose outfits were the easiest to design, he said, "It was easy for me to design costumes for Amy Jackson. Her role in the film required glamorous clothes. So, it was easy as it is my forte to make girls look beautiful." With this, we concluded our chat with Rocky who confessed that he was scared if he would be able to deliver when he first read the descriptions of the characters of 2.0.
