Anil
Kapoor
Films
Company's
Aisha,
starring
Sonam
Kapoor
and
Abhay
Deol,
releases
in
July.
Here's
a
'first
look'
at
the
characters
and
their
styles
in
the
film.
The
romantic
comedy
has
been
shot
in
Delhi
and
Rishikesh.
Rajashri
Ojha
directs.
Anil's
daughter
Rhea
who
is
producing,
says,
"When
I
first
read
the
script
of
Aisha
(based
on
the
Jane
Austen
novel
Emma),
I
realized
every
character
has
their
individual
style
reflected
through
their
characters.
Designer
Pernia
Qureshi
and
I
together
created
mood
boards
for
every
character
along
with
their
signature
colors,
went
to
New
York
and
shopped.
We
have
also
used
contemporary
European
and
Indian
designers.
The
film
is
about
a
group
of
friends
seen
through
Aisha's
perspective
and
coming
into
your
own.
It's
about
finding
your
heart
and
finding
that
special
someone
you
can
spend
the
rest
the
life
with."
Aisha
Kapoor
(Sonam
Kapoor)
is
an
upper
class
Delhi
girl
who
loves
to
wear
trendy
outfits.
She's
stylish
and
feminine
yet
is
very
strong.
Pernia
Qureshi
who
has
designed
all
the
women
in
Aisha
says,
"Aisha
is
very
trendy
yet
girlie
and
wears
lots
lace
and
pretty
outfits
with
polka
dots,
ribbons,
headbands
and
hats.
Her
style
quotient
is
the
Lady
Dior
handbag
she
carries
throughout
the
film."
Arjun
Barman
(Abhay
Deol)
plays
an
investment
banker.
Designer
Kunal
Rawal
says
his
brief
was
to
style
Abhay
according
to
his
profession.
"Abhay
is
a
clotheshorse.
His
character
is
the
perfect
dresser.
Strait-laced
yet
fun
and
casual
but
his
outfits
are
slightly
slicker.
He's
every
girl's
dream.
We
have
given
Abhay
suits
in
mixed
subtle
colors,
suits
without
belts,
vintage
tie
clips,
vintage
YSL
belts
from
New
York
in
contrasting
colors.
Arjun
loves
his
brown
belts
and
shoes."
