Fifteen years after they enabled Sanjay Leela Bhansali to create the visual magnificence that he did in Devdas (2002) by customising the celebrated outfits for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit-Nene, couturiers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla are set to return to Bollywood with Veere Di Wedding.

It took a fair share of convincing, we hear, but, the National Award-winning designers have given their nod to create the traditional outfits for the wedding sequences of the Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Swara Bhaskar-starrer. A source tells mid-day that the designers will scroll through archives to dig out their finest creations for the leading ladies.


Confirming the news to mid-day, Khosla says, "We haven't worked on a film since Devdas because we have been busy growing our brand. So, we are excited to be part of this project. This was the ideal film for us to return with, because it revolves around a wedding; we love Indian weddings." Khosla heaps praise on producer Rhea Kapoor, who, much like sister Sonam, "knows a lot about fashion and styling".

With TV czarina Ekta Kapoor, who Khosla describes as "a trendsetter in television" also being co-producer, the designer acknowledges that there are several minds involved in the visual depiction of the sequences. "We have decided that we will work as per a brief that everybody agrees to."

Given that the duo has been designing outfits for Kapoor since she made her debut in Saawariya (2007), Jani says the decision to return with this film was fitting. "Sonam has always been a trendsetter. This will be the first time we will be working with Kareena, and we are looking forward to it. We will be able to showcase some of our most amazing and elaborate designs," say the duo.
