He mentioned how ‘genius’ director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is passionate about his characters and creates a full background story about aesthetics.

He further shared an interesting anecdote, recalling, “The brief that was given to me from the director was to make Ranbir look like in a Rockstar avatar never seen before on him. Sandeep sir narrated to me that Ranvijay is a diehard Michael Jackson fan. So when you watch the film in the climax scene you get to know when Ranbir asks his father Anil Kapoor Sir that when he wanted to go for MJ Concert he kept saying Papa Papa Papa I want to go for his concert .. This is also one of my favourite scene from the film.

“You will also realise his entry in this look is on the bike smoking a cigarette and then you see him doing a famous MJ Moon Walk with a fantastic background score .. What a BGM I remember in the 90’s we all used to have atleast one poster of King Of Pop Micheal Jackson’s in our cupboard, especially of BAD,” Hakim reminisced. 

Aalim further mentioned being a huge fan of the legendary global sensation and called it a ‘great opportunity’ to bring out the essence of MJ’s hairstyle in young Ranvijay. Sharing the idea, he revealed, “So I tried to keep a loose pony at the back with a lot of texture with a hair flick falling on the face . But we did it in a very subtle way to go with the vibe of Ranbir playing Ranvijay and not MJ. Hats Off to Ranbir to pull off every look in the movie with so much of grace.”
