Keerthy Will Seem A Lot Like Savitri Because Of The Costumes

Legendary actress Savitri was an epitome of grace and dignity, and it reflected in her impeccable sense of style. In the biopic ‘Mahanati’, Keerthy Suresh is essaying the role of Savitri in the movie. Ace couturier took the challenge of transforming Keerthy Suresh into Savitri. Gaurang has designed the costumes of Keerthy in the film.

“For me, Savitri is the Meena Kumari of South Indian cinema. The kind of clothes Savitri wore — Kanjeevaram blouses and chiffon sarees — are what I’m known for. For Mahanati, we recreated a lot of outfits that Savitri wore in her films, by getting exact replicas woven again,” he reveals. Gaurang added, “I had 3 months in hand to recreate the costume exactly like the one Savitri wore in the original! In fact, in the film, Keerthy will seem a lot like Savitri herself, not just because of her acting prowess, but because of the costumes too”.

Naveen Sangli, of L Bajrang Pershad Jewellers, has designed the ornaments worn by Keerthy Suresh in the film. The movie is produced by Priyanka Dutt, Swapna Dutt and presented by Ashwini Dutt under Vyjayanthi Movies. Mahanati is all set to hit the theatres tomorrow.
