Designer
Sabyasachi Mukherjee, who styled the look of Sanjay Leela
Bhansali's much-awaited film Black
, says the power and grace of Amitabh Bachchan and the
enormous vitality and talent of Rani Mukherjee just blew him
away.
" Black was a
brilliant experience, literally a once in a lifetime
experience," said Mukherjee.
"Working with Amitabh Bachchan is absolutely fabulous, he
is like God. He is by far the most down-to-earth person I've
ever met. Throughout the shoot, he was absolutely on time
every single day. In fact, he used to be always five minutes
early.
"I was completely in awe of him."
Mukherjee gave the dark clothes, well fitted and delectably
understated clothes to Amitabh and Rani in Bhansali's surreal
tale of a blind girl and her coach.
He said seeing Rani work, was magic. "She can virtually
do anything. She is so multi-faceted and she is very open to
experimentation. From body language to little details and
touches, Rani is very deft."
"I think she is turning out to be the true successor of
the lofty standards set by Kajol," Mukherjee said.

As
a designer, Black was
a huge challenge of Mukherjee, who was asked to do something
diametrically different from the splash and flamboyance that
he is usually associated with.
"Here the look was so intense and understated that I
couldn't bring anything that I usually do. It was never the
play of colours and that special juxtaposition and rhythm that
colours bring.
"It was particularly fascinating for me because the look
was so monochromatic, so minimalist. It was pure, like Zen,
and I seriously feel that I evolved to a new plane while doing
that look."
But he won't do a film again in the near future. "I like
doing a number of things at a time and doing a film is very,
very taxing.
"It also means that you completely devote almost two
years to one project and that is a long time. I want to
concentrate on my fashion business and not spread myself too
thin," said Mukherjee who said no to Bhansali's Bajirao-Mastani
.
"One thing at a time." |
