Vidya Balan gets a new designer for ‘Begum Jaan’

Vidya Balan’s upcoming period drama ‘Begum Jaan’ has faced many cast changes in the technical team so far. It was earlier known that about three members of the technical team, production designers Amit Ray and Subrata Chakraborty, DoP Ravi K Chandran and costume designer Payal Saluja had exited from the period drama.

Now we have news that Rick Roy has replaced the designer Payal Saluja and will have to make an entire wardrobe in just a fortnight. But he’s game for it, as he loves taking up challenges.

Rick insists that he hasn’t faced any monetary issues so far. “The Bhatts have been nice and agreed to everything I asked for. Besides, getting to work with Srijit and Vidya on a film like this is already worth more than anything anyone can pay,” the designer has quoted to a daily.

The movie ‘Begum Jaan’ starring Vidya Balan in a lead role is a remake of the Bengali film Rajkahini, and is being directed by Srijit Mukherjee.
