If Madonna
is reprising the role of Elisa sister of Leo in Benz then is the film set in a
period much before Leo ? Elisa is killed in Leo ‘s flashback scenes and Vijay
decides to take up a new identity as Leo. Benz stars Raghava Lawrence in the titular role, while
Nivin plays Walter the antagonist. One out of three leading ladies links Benz
to Leo. What has Benz
been doing in the years following his own story ? Could Walter be the elder
brother of Rolex (Vikram’s antagongonist)
When it
comes to storytelling, costume designer Amritha Ram considers Mani Ratnam a “magician”. Her belief was
strengthened further when she worked with the filmmaker on Thug Life, styling
Kamal Haasan in the action drama. “I see why Mani sir and Kamal sir get along.
Their discipline and homework is spot on. Before beginning work, Mani sir gave
a holistic understanding of the world. Then we did character analysis. The film
is divided into three parts in terms of looks — Kamal sir’s Delhi portions,
then Nepal, and Japan. The look requirements were locked in the research
phase,” she explains.
Thug Life —
also starring Silambarasan TR, Trisha Krishnan, and Abhirami — sees Haasan as a
gangster who is betrayed by those closest to him. When crafting his look, Ram
says the challenge was to capture both the superstar’s gravitas and the
character’s reinvention. “We crafted a look that’s edgy yet timeless, keeping
Kamal sir’s larger-than-life persona in mind,” she reveals.
The most
challenging part was cracking Haasan’s look for the Nepal portions of the
narrative. “The look needed to be minimalistic and rooted in Nepal. Zeroing in on that was hard, because it had to
be balanced while capturing the maximalism of the region’s cultural tapestry.
It became my favourite look,” she exclaims.
