Aamir Khan's style statement in Fanaa

With every new film, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan sports a new look and exudes a new style statement. His next flick Fanaa is no different.

While in Lagaan , Aamir had the rusty, brown complexion of a poor, hardworking labourer, in ‘Mangal Pandey - The Rising ’ he had long hair and a thick moustache and in Rang De Basanti , he sported a young and cool style.

Aamir always manages to keep in mind the style quotient of his character.

And in Fanaa too Aamir will maintain his cool, young-hip look. However, he will be given a different and fresh style in his attire. He will be sporting vibrant mufflers, a few wristbands and bracelets and in particular a red chilly locket.

According to director Kunal Kohli , "Fanaa is not a fashion filled film. The characters are wearing normal, natural clothes. But there are certain accessories in the film that will become synonymous with the lead actors after the film."

Aamir's clothes and look for the film has been styled by Mamta Anand who had styled Saif Ali Khan in Salaam Namaste and Hum Tum .

Mamta was asked to give Aamir an Indian look, who plays a Delhi tour guide in Fanaa, so he was given costumes like denim jackets, printed full-sleeved shirts, polo neck shirts and bright mufflers.

According to Mamta, "The mufflers have been co-coordinated with each outfit that Aamir has worn. Since we were shooting in the winters there are a lot of layers in his clothing and the mufflers complete it. He plays a local boy, but he's stylish. Therefore, he wears rugged denims and worn out shirts. His clothes are in tandem with his characteristic traits."

Mamta speculated that after the film releases bright handspun mufflers would be a rage amongst youth in the North.

Mamta further added that she did not have a difficult time dressing Aamir who is claimed to be finicky, instead, she said, "He believes in logic and reasoning. Once he is aware of the reason for a certain get-up, then he's completely non-interfering."

In Fanaa Aamir wears a red chilly locket throughout. "Director Kunal wanted to have an accessory that summarizes the character Aamir plays. The red chilly is symbolic in many ways and one will notice this when the film releases. In fact, in the latter half Aamir's character undergoes a change and he has a completely different look with cropped hair and all."

So get set to drool over Aamir's new style statement in Fanaa.
