Abhi’s ‘1-costume’ formula in ‘Paa’

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,October 15 2009]

Costumes have taken a great role in Abhishek Bachchan’s upcoming film ‘Paa’, directed by Balki. The film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek and Vidya Balan in lead roles is almost completed. Lots of detailing factors on costumes has made the film more interesting. According to the sources, major portion of the film will have Abhishek Bachchan wearing single costume (White Kurta Pyjama) as he plays the role of a young politician in ‘Paa’. Says Balki: “Abhishek plays a young forward-thinking politician who follows in the footsteps of his father; played by Paresh Rawal.”

Balki had ordered 10 costumes of same type to make sure that the continuity doesn’t miss. But, with 10% of the filming is still pending, nearly 30 costumes have been used.

Bachchan junior however doesn’t seem to mind the limited wardrobe he has in the movie, “It was a welcome change to not have so many different costumes. And most importantly it was the requirement of the film,” he said.

Paa is a sensitive story about the relationship between a father and son who is suffering from Progeria.
