It took fashion designer Neeta Lulla just 48 hours of hard work to decide the right look for Bollywood ‘dream girl’ Hema Malini’s forthcoming venture “Ek Thi Rani Aisi Bhi” in which she plays erstwhile Gwalior queen Vijayaraje Scindia.

“Actually we both had time constraints so I had to work round-the-clock to give Hemaji the look of the Rajmata. I did my own research and Hemaji also gave me a reference book, which helped me a lot,” said Lulla.

Lulla is the one who gave Aishwarya Rai the ethereal look in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s period drama “Jodhaa Akbar”. She was also behind Hema Malini’s refreshing look in Ravi Chopra’s “Baghban”.

“I tried to give her a different look in ‘Baghban’ and people loved the way she looked in the film. Hope people will like it this time too,” the designer added.

Being directed by Gulbahar Singh, “Ek Thi Rani Aisi Bhi” went on floors recently and is being produced by the Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Smriti Trust.
