Overview
- Chauhan says Khanna was unconvinced after initial look tests, telling the team, “I’m not sure if we take this route,” which triggered fresh trials and meetings.
- Khanna proposed adding kurta‑and‑jeans to signal Rehman Dakait’s street origins, shaping a visual journey from rugged linens and denims to a silk‑wool pathani.
- For the viral Fa9la sequence, Aditya Dhar and Chauhan switched dancers to white for cultural authenticity and put Khanna in black to make the character stand out.
- Dhar was closely involved in the process, with Chauhan recalling his aim that Rehman’s entrance should make audiences “freeze.”
- Coverage notes the look’s outsized social‑media impact since the December 5 release, with one outlet reporting the film has crossed ₹607 crore in India.
