Costume designer Rick Roy, is referred to as “item specialist” by director Sajid Khan. Rick is the man behind styling all the leading ladies for item numbers in his films.
While Tamannah, Esha Gupta and Bipasha Basu look stunning in the Piya Ke Bazaar number in Humshakals, the credit goes to Rick.
About working with Tamannah (who he styled even in Himmatwala), Esha and Bipasha he says, “Bipasha is particular about certain things. She patiently sat with me and made me understand things that she likes and how they work best for her. Tamannah is extremely professional; there are times when she might not agree with you, but once you explain to her why and what you are doing and how it will work for the look, she listens, which is an amazing quality. Esha and I share a very different rapport. She doesn’t even ask what she was wearing for her character. In fact, I just go up to her and show her the sketches and swatches.
Speaking about other projects he says, “In Raja Natwarlal I’m styling Emraan Hashmi. Gabbar is the next release where I have styled Akshay Kumar. It will be my tenth release in a short span of three years since I started doing movies.”
