-Mirzya is the contemporized version of the tragic
love story – Mirzya And Sahiba. Niharika says
“ in mirzya there are two parts.
One contemporary version and
other folkloreAs folklore is an imaginary portion,
I have designed for that sequence, it is timeless
and very different from that I have put
my mind together to do

14. •The curly locks and light eyed debutante has been
making many appearances as she promotes her
movie Mirzya and her style is rather impressive.
•Another one of her looks that we got a sneak peek
of, is this stunning red lengha she is wearing for
one of the scenes .
•Saiyami's look is styled by Leepakshi Ellawadi
who is the costume designer / stylist from Sultan
and now also the costume designer of Mirzya and
tubelight.

a koti, heavy Kundan necklace, Nathni, and a borala.
•Leepakshi says, "Dressing Saiyami and Harshvardhan has been an
absolute pleasure.
• Saiyami’s Wedding Costume: 14.5 kg lehenga and 1.5 crore worth
jewellery

18. •Harshvardhan hails from a poor background.
The actor will be seen as a stable boy, who
takes care of the horses. Thus, his look is
crafted keeping cow boys in mind. “I designed
his look on the lines of James Dean (American
actor).
• His appearance is very grungy with all the
bundies, denims, even denim bandies for that
matter.
•He is from the labour class and to suit that we
even aged his clothes,” elaborates Lipakshi.
11 pair of ‘laung’ for Harshvardhan

21. Hailing from a Rajput family, Harshvardhan will be
seen sporting an accessory worn by the guys of
Rajasthan. “It’s an ear piece called the laung. We crafted
one using gold and ruby and looks really pretty in his
ears. We made 11 pairs replicating the original such that
we have lots of pieces in spare if in case they get lost
during the shooting,” mentions Lipakshi.

22. Debonair and sophisticated, his outfits
required well-cut, stylish suits, trousers,
shirts and jackets along with chic yet

something that Prima Czar has always
specialized in. Additionally the brand has
also designed wardrobe for Art Malik’s
character, Suchi’s father, the Police
Commissioner and for K.K. Raina’s
character, Karan’s father, Bade Maharaj.
The fact that Prima Czar has some of the
best fabrics available in the city along with
exceptionally talented in-house designers
and masters is what has made them the
destination store for so many celebrities
and designers alike. Their contribution,
especially when they were short on time
has proved very valuable to the entire
Mirzya team.

23. Recently at the Santa Cruz showroom of men’s couture label Prima Czar, the cast of Rakeysh
Mehra’s latest epic Mirzya were present to talk about some of the costumes that were designed
by the brand. Anuj Choudhry, who plays Karan, along with Saiyami Kher who plays Suchi in the
film were both present along with the Co-founder of the brand, Prakash Arora.

24. •Apart from the Harshvardhan and Saiyami’s contemporary scenes, it is
the folklore sequences which are getting a lot of attention.
• From romance, the film transcends into action and it is learnt there are
many teams which battle against each other. “Mirza’s (Harshvardhan)
tribe is called Mithra, while Sahiba’s (Saiyami’s) is called Hidush. Both
the tribes have been distinguished by their costume’s colours. While
Mithra is blue, Hidush is red. Likewise there are many other tribes like
Giza, Jangwa, Torgo and Sumer flaunting different colours

26. •The tribes are also distinguished by peculiar flags and also tattoos which
are on the horses of these tribes.
•In terms of Mirza’s costumes, a lot of natural fibers like leather and jute
has been used. “The armour that he wears too is made out of leather.
Even Saiyami, the blouse which she wears is pure leather. And the
accessories she wears is made up of threads, ropes and feathers,”
elaborates Niharika.
