'I was very influenced by the 1970s style'

Was it challenging to come up with a retro look in Action Replayy?

I was very influenced by the 1970s style. I have to thank my mother for the encouragement; she always encouraged me in whatever I did.

I had a passion for cinema. Whenever I had a holiday from school on Thursday or a half day on Saturday, I would watch two films in a single day. I was very much into Hindi films. I would watch films repeatedly too.

When I joined the industry, my entire work in the 1990s was hugely inspired by the 1970s look -- (I would use colours like) baby pink, peach and off white.

Farah Khan wanted me to work in Om Shanti Ombecause I knew 70s style so well. The same is the case with Action Replayy. So getting the 70s look here was fun.
