Fresh spin on old-world romance: Manish Malhotra decodes Alia's saree look from 'Rocky aur Rani..'
New Delhi, Jul 29 (PTI) Alia Bhatt's chiffon sarees from "Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani" are a nod to the romance and drama of old school cinema, says fashion designer Manish Malhotra, describing his work on the Karan Johar film as a "roller coaster of creativity".
Directed by Johar, "Rocky Aur Rani..." stars Ranveer Singh and Bhatt as the titular couple from different cultural backgrounds.
The film has been generating a lot of buzz for its scale, music and stellar cast -- also featuring cinema veterans Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. "Working on 'Rocky and Rani....' with Karan was pure fun as it always is. Karan had this idea of having Alia in sarees to portray her character of a bright Bengali journalist, and everyone knows how much I adore chiffon.
