EXCLUSIVE: Designers across India come together for Siddharth Tewary's RadhaKrishn
Siddharth Tewary is back with yet another mythological saga, this time, the story of Radha and Krishna.
Touted as the King of mythology on Indian television, Siddharth Tewary recently announced that his show, RadhaKrishn, will be a musical, first of its kind, with 20 songs. Apart from the majestic sets, another highlight of the show will be the costumes & the jewellery. Siddharth Tewary who is riding high on the success of his historical show Porus, that has been sold to over 11 countries already, promises his upcoming mythological love story to be a visual treat, almost like it is straight out of a painting.
In an interview with us, Siddharth shared, “We're at it for over 2 years now. I like attention to detail & during our travels to discover more stories on Radha & Krishna, we learnt how scholars believed them to look like & what they wore. Costumes & Jewelry are an integral part to define a character. We worked closely with several designers; they worked round the clock creating their versions. We finally have a designer on board from Kolkata who has worked for a couple of Bengali actors & has created some really beautiful outfits. Our jewellery has been sourced from artisans in Rajasthan. This show is special.”
The costume designer, with regards to the same stated, “We were categorically told that we need to create something that has not been seen on television before, larger than life, yet subtle & no constraint on budgets. We were allowed to experiment. We have spent months behind every character and deciding on the looks. Even the background and side actors have 6-7 costumes each. Radha is full of life and personifies natural beauty so you'll see her in floral jewellery. Floral jewellery for every look is time consuming but the final outcome is surreal. For Krishna, we chose the colour of Pitambar which is on the yellow side so connected to gold. There will be a special make-up on Kans with jewellery inspired by Octopus elements which is more about passion, ignorance & negative elements.”
“We wanted this show to be more colorful and full of life in terms of costumes and sets so we have so many colors in costumes and sets,” Siddharth concluded.
