But
many
do
not
know
that
an
ace
designer
from
Bollywood
had
worked
hard
on
the
looks
of
namma
Rajini.
Well,
it
is
none
other
than
well-known
Neeta
Lulla,
who
has
designed
the
costumes
for
Rajinikanth
starrer
Kochadaiyaan.

Director

the
daughter
of
the
superstar,
Soundarya
Ashwin
has
praised
the
designer
to
heavens.
Soundarya
Ashwin
said
that
Neeta
Lulla
has
done
an
extraordinary
job.
The
designer
has
taken
care
of
every
small
details
on
the
costume

realistic

the

"Neeta
has
done
an
outstanding
job
on
the
costumes
for
Kochadaiyaan.
The
details
in
the
armour
and
the
weaponised
look
of
the
costumes
really
creates
an
impact.
The
photo-realistic
performance
capture
technology
used
in
the
film
is
extremely
advanced
and
the
work
done
on
the
costumes
really
shines
through."
As

a
period

Neeta
Lulla
had
to
research
a
lot
on
the
costumes
and
experiment
before
finalising
the
same.

20-25
Costumes
Selected
Around
20-25
costumes
were
zeroed
in
on
out
of
150
costumes,
which
were
designed
on
paper.
Armour
Suit
A
range
of
20
to
30
looks
were
designed
by
Neeta
Lulla.
She
also
created
the
armour
suit
along
with
the
costumes
of
the
supporting
cast
of
Kochadaiyaan.
She
says
it
was
"totally
wonderful" to
associate
with
the
project.
Neeta
Lulla
"Being
a
part
of
Kochadaiyaan
is
definitely
a
milestone
in
my
career.
I
think
the
project
is
larger
than
life
for
two
aspects
-
one
being
Rajini
sir
and
the
other
being
that
it
is
a
photo
realistic
motion
capture
film
format,
that
is
a
first-of-its-kind,"
Lulla
said
in
a
statement.
Looks
Not
In
Fabric
Form
Neeta
Lulla
adds
that
the
team
gave
a
lot
of
importance
to
the
sketches.
"We
created
the
looks
not
in
fabric
form,
but
a
detailed
overview
in
sketch
form,"
she
claims.
8
Months
Work
On
Characterisations
The
designer
continues,
"My
creative
team
and
I
worked
on
for
almost
eight
months
on
the
various
characterisations
of
Rajini
sir
and
the
other
supporting
cast."

Lulla

of
design
experience
altogether.
