Mumbai:
Actress Mahie Gill, who plays Mona Darling in the remake of Zanjeer will be seen in a sensuous yet sophisticated look, reveals designer Pria Kataria Puri .
Often seen sporting the desi look in films such as Dev D, Paan Singh Tomar and the Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster series, the film has many firsts for Mahie.
"We coloured her hair, she had never coloured her hair. She had never worn heels, but we got custom heels made for her that were 7-8 inches high to give her that diva look. We made her wear everything from a swimsuit to a see through kaftan to sexy tight dresses," said Pria.
"But we have presented her in a very classy, sophisticated way. She has been shown as a very sensuous, sexy woman who follows today's fashion...We have shown her as a diva," she added.
In the original Zanjeer, Bindu featured as Mona, the don's moll, while Ajit played the villain and Amitabh Bachchan was the protagonist. Veteran actor Pran also featured in the film as a loyal friend.
Pria said it was great styling Mahie, as she came with a clean slate and gave her free hand to experiment with her look the way she wanted.
"It was very exciting for me because Mahie has not been presented that way and I prefer people who come with a blank canvas, so that I can draw what I want to. If they are good actors, they take it like a sponge," said the designer, who has also styled the film's leading actress Priyanka Chopra.
Directed by Apurva Lakhia, Zanjeer 2 also features actors Ram Charan Teja, Prakash Raj and Atul Kulkarni.
The film is slated for a September 6 release.
