Costume designing has been challenging for ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’: Dolly Ahluwalia

<i>Bhaag Milkha Bhaag</i> releases in July this year.

National award-winning actress and costume designer Dolly Ahluwalia,who has styled Farhan Akhtar for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s biopic on Milkha Singh,says it was a challenging job to trace the actor’s looks for the on-screen journey of the legendary sprinter.

“Costume designing has been challenging for Farhan and I wish and pray it’s a big hit. We were very conscious about that… we had gone and met Milkha Singh many times to get the feedback,” Dolly told PTI.

“Film is a creative medium and so we definitely took a little liberty for Farhan’s look but no long leaps. It is a long film with a journey of a young boy of 10 to a man of 30 years,” she said.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag releases in July this year.

The veteran actor played mother to Ayushmann Khurrana in Vicky Donor and won the national honour.
