Mumbai, June 17 (NationPress) As Hrithik Roshan’s highly anticipated action film “War 2” approaches its release date, stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania, known for her collaboration with the actor in blockbusters like “Dhoom 2” and “Bang Bang!”, shared insights on his new look, which intentionally diverts from the grunge aesthetic to embody a style that is “somewhere between real and godlike”.
The costume designer for War 2 emphasized that the film will enhance Hrithik’s on-screen presence through the thoughtful styling of his character.
Anaita remarked: “I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with Hrithik over the years — on Dhoom 2, Bang Bang, countless appearances and ads—and then came War. Each project brought something new, but with War, we made a conscious decision to shift gears.”
She continued: “We moved away from the grunge aesthetic and instead created a cleaner, sleeker look for him. It still had an edge—somewhere between real and godlike. And yes, kind of like a superhero in plainclothes! His look is determined, yet casual.”
Shroff noted that for War 2, it was crucial to delve into a more profound, darker mood for Kabir, the suave character portrayed by Hrithik.
“This version of him is layered—not just emotionally, but visually too. Thinner fabrics, pieces that feel a little more lived-in, slightly unkempt even… and there’s more! But of course, Kabir is still Kabir — his sharpness always cuts through.”
The stylist elaborated that she built upon the successful elements from War 1: the transformative haircut, Hrithik’s magnetic presence, and then “we just pushed it further.”
“I think that combination—the looks, the attitude, the restraint—is what truly created this Kabir for War 2.”
Produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 pits NTR, heralded as the Man of the Masses, against Hrithik Roshan. Kiara Advani stars as the female lead. War 2 is set for a worldwide release on August 14th in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
Point of View
It's clear that the collaboration between Hrithik Roshan and Anaita Shroff Adajania is not just about fashion; it’s about storytelling through visuals. Their synergy reflects a deep understanding of character development that resonates with audiences. As 'War 2' approaches, this fresh aesthetic could redefine action film styling in Bollywood.
