Vasuki Bhaskar, who designed costumes for Ajith’s Mankatha, his 50th film, shares her expereince about the first day shoot with a daily. Venkat Prabhu was shooting the song Vaada Bin Laada in a bungalow in East Coast Road. There were hordes of Ajith fans waiting outside and that was her first moment with Thala Ajith. The much-loved salt-and-pepper look and the stylish costumes Ajith donned were courtesy Vasuki Bhaskar.
“I couldn’t believe that was the look I had imagined for a man with such a huge fan following – and that too for his 50th film! I took the cameraman aside and asked if the lighting could be adjusted to camouflage the silvery mane. But later, the more I saw the images on the monitor, the more I felt the look would work,” says Vasuki to a daily.
