This is how the 50s era was recreated in Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Rustom’

Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Rustom‘ has already grabbed a lot of eyeballs owing to his unique content and amazing songs.

The movie, which is based on the infamous Nanavati murder case that shook the nation back in the 1950s, needed a 50s feel to it. This is the reason that the makers had to do a lot of research for the same. And clearly, they did a splendid job. From the trailer and the songs, they have nailed the 50s era.

Talking to a leading daily about how they went about to achieve the same, ‘Rustom’ director Tinu Suresh Desai said, “A lot of research went into everything, from the interiors and the costumes, to details like what the people of the high society used to wear to the kinds of clothes the middle class wore etc.”

He also revealed how he got hold of a video shot way back in the 1950s, which turned out to be of great help. “We had got real life footage of the city in 1959, which was shot by a great British tourist. It was of great help. Then, every team – from the production to costumes to camera department – brought their research together. All of them decided to combine the look and feel of the film. My technical team, including the VFX team, has been responsible for getting the desired look,” he added.

‘Rustom’ is all set to release on August 12. The film also stars Esha Gupta and Ileana D’Cruz in the lead roles.
