There is something about yesteryear actors and their inimitable grace. Leading ladies from the current crop will tell you how they, in their own ways, have paid tribute to these screen idols. The latest actor to do so is Saiyami Kher, who has modelled her look in her yet-untitled next on the late Nargis Dutt. Interestingly, the Anurag Kashyap production, which sees her opposite Gulshan Devaiah, is being shot in black-and-white, thus having an old-world charm to it. A source tells us, “For Saiyami’s look, the makers wanted something elegant and classic. The styling team referenced for weeks, pulling out the on-screen avatars of Nutan, Madhubala and Meena Kumari. Since the role required a girl-next-door feel, Nargis ji’s look in Lajwanti [1958] came closest to their brief. In the film, Saiyami is wearing simple cotton sarees, completing the look with a bindi and braided hair.”
