And, if you’re wondering why Vijay made such a humble choice, here’s the answer. Harman Kaur, stylist for the South Asian film star, spoke about the same. She claimed that Vijay Deverakonda chose to wear slippers as he wanted to maintain a look that was similar to the character he is playing in the film.
Talking about Vijay’s look, Harman said that many brands and designers were in constant touch with him for his dressing up. “I was ready to really cool it over the top until Vijay called me one day and said let’s get closest to the character and take a very subdued look. He specifically asked me for basic chappals and initially, I was a bit hesitant, but I always trust Vijay’s dressing idea as well because I know he is making it the talk of the country,” she told Pinkvilla.
Harman said, “I was constantly nervous because the event was massive, especially in Mumbai, and it was indeed Vijay’s bravery to walk wearing slippers worth Rs 199, but I am glad it got a lot of love.”
