In the industry where half of the film’s budget is consumed by an actor’s designer outfits, here comes perfectionist Aamir Khan who instead used second hand clothes of “Aam Janta” in his forthcoming film ‘PK‘.
Aamir plays the character role of an alien, who has landed on earth and wears anything and everything that comes his way (including a Rajasthani ghagra). Therefore, director Rajkumar Hirani decided to make him wear second hand, since they are will be either borrowed or stolen by him.
So before the shoot began, Rajkumar gave a task to his crew team to get second hand used and torn clothes. Even the crew members donated their very own old clothes to Aamir. For one of the scene, the actor was required to wear a “Ghagra”, so his team borrowed it from a Rajasthani lady in exchange of new “Ghagra”.
