She says the film’s now-viral bearded avatar was born from months of iterative work, collaboration and a deep integration of costume with hair, makeup, lighting and performance. In an exclusive conversation with Filmfare, Chauhan breaks down the meticulous process, from conceptual sketches to 40-metre salwars and silicon jewellery designed to survive high-octane action. Region, story and technical precisionChauhan reveals that the idea of a full beard was rooted in the character’s geography and cultural background. “We knew there was going to be a beard because of the region he comes from, what he’s performing and who he is,” she says. The hair and makeup team played a decisive role as well. They dictated the skin tone, lens colour and texture choices that needed to sync with her costume palette. “Costume and hair and makeup cannot be separated,” Chauhan emphasises. “The look comes alive only when all three, costume, HMU and lighting - work in harmony.”Ranveer’s inputs and a sharp eye for detailChauhan was nervous as she met Ranveer Singh for the first time while working on the movie. However, she says that the actor immediately put her at ease. But Singh was far from a passive participant. He dissected materials, cuts and accessories with precision. He’d ask, ‘Why linen? Why not silk? Why this jewellery? Why this structure?’ According to the designer, his questions pushed her to have solid answers.Smriti also shares, “And when you have the answers, it gives you more clarity. So with Ranveer, he ensured that he helps the two of us get clarity on the character. He also added some technical bits. He asked me to add a wire on the collar so that it stays like that when he is moving around.” Ranveer’s physical transformationOne of the biggest challenges for Chauhan’s team was designing for a body that kept changing. Ranveer bulked up for a portion of the film and then shed weight rapidly for another. “We had to ensure that with every change in his body, the clothes didn’t show that change... The look had to stay consistent,” she shares.The character evolves from a street nobody to someone big. The costumes had to mirror his transformation. Initially, his look is rooted in ruggedness. “So all of this came together working very closely with him. We understood which materials are working the best and which is looking rugged. His entire journey in this film is like that of a nobody becoming somebody, like really big. So that journey itself was grand.” The nightmare of action-friendly jewelleryLater, as the character rises in stature, accessories become key. Ironically, Chauhan had laughed off Ranveer’s early questions about accessories because of the heavy action sequences. But he persisted. “Cut to the first sequence in the teaser - he is loaded in accessories. I can tell you this, I’ll throw a rug on him and he’ll carry it with perfection. The next thing you know is that we have added so many accessories on him,” she adds.As the film is packed with lengthy action sequences, some shot over 10 to 12 days, Chauhan’s team had to create silicon jewellery that looked real but wouldn’t injure the actor or break under impact. “It was a nightmare but became necessary.” The Balochi salwar challengeOne of the film’s most technically challenging pieces was the traditional Balochi salwar. The authentic garment uses 30 to 40 metres of fabric, which is impossible for action scenes. Instead, Chauhan’s team created prototypes using 17 to 20 metres. They experimented with fabric weight, fall, pleats and movement. “We kept making so many prototypes. When he wore it, it looked less; when we spread it out, it was huge. Overall, it was a massive learning experience,” she recalls.Months of prep, presentations and look testsThe team spent two to three months preparing Ranveer’s looks. They went through six different presentation decks and multiple iterations for each phase of his journey. Three comprehensive look tests were done even before shooting. Moreover, sudden scheduling changes accelerated everything. “We thought we’d shoot in October, but suddenly the shoot got pulled to July. We were like, ‘What?’ But luckily we had done early homework,” she recalls.The moment Ranveer called her a ‘Rockstar’Chauhan recalls one of her most overwhelming moments when Ranveer looked at the first major look test and told her he’d “never seen this level of detailing.” “Coming from someone who’s worked with the greatest designers worldwide, it meant the world. It pushed me to raise my own bar,” she says.Despite the scale, the pressure and the physicality of the film, Chauhan says Ranveer’s collaborative nature made the process smooth. “He is the best team player I could have asked for. His encouragement, his curiosity, his involvement - everything helped build the character’s world,” she quips.Also Read: Sara Arjun gives Dhurandhar co-star Ranveer Singh a moving tribute as she shares BTS photos。日报记者 刘光昱摄“欢迎搭乘‘雄安风景线’城市观光车，我们一起打卡雄安新区城市地标。”8月15日，一辆宽敞明亮的双层城市观光车满载欢声笑语，从雄安新区启动区缓缓启程。车上坐着的，是来自多家疏解企业的职工及其子女。这场城市环游之旅，是雄安新区“疏解同心 志愿同行”系列志愿服务主题活动的首场线下活动，由省委社会工作部、雄安新区社会工作部联合主办。活动聚焦疏解群体的需求，以沉浸式体验加深“雄安新人”与城市的情感联结，是新区推动疏解人员深度融入城市发展的现实举措。车行途中，窗外景致目不暇接。科技感十足的现代建筑群与蜿蜒的生态廊道交相辉映，中央绿谷的草木葱茏与碧波水系相映成趣。
