However, for Rocky, it was filming in the outskirts of Chennai that posed a bigger challenge. "It implied that should there be a need for patch-work, we would have to source additional material from the city, or Mumbai," he says.
Even though the film's anti-hero, Akshay Kumar, received praise for his get-up as Pakshirajan, Rocky admits that designing his attire was more complex, and hence a tougher task. "Yet, I got a kick out of styling him."
Point out that parallels were drawn between his attire and that of an American fictional superhero, Birdman, and the designer argues, "We worked extensively on the character." The only reference point for him was the mastermind behind the film, director S Shankar. "When he met me, he had his storyboard in place. He knew the colours he wanted, the basic fabrics, and even the final look."
