Abbas’ wife, Erum Ali has
proved her mettle as a costume designer
by designing all her hubby’s
clothes. A couple of years ago,
Erum designed clothes for both Abbas
as well as Sonia Agarwal when they
starred together in a Telugu film.
Happy over the end result, Sonia
had Erum design her wedding clothes
too.
Their friendship and professional
relationship went a bit further,
when Sonia had her husband Selvaraghavan
sign up Erum for their Aayirathil
Oruvan. Recalling her experience
working in the film, Erum says that
being a period film she had some
doubts about the costumes initially.
However, a visit to Selvaraghavan’s
house cleared all of them as the
director had nearly converted his
residence into a museum and library
of sorts with a huge collection
of art works and books that would
make the final outcome of the film
realistic.
Erum says that designing clothes
for Andrea, Reema Sen and Parthiban
were highly challenging. The lady
adds that Karthi will appear in
rugged clothes, nevertheless, sporting
smart look as ever. |
