Bollywood's leading stylist Manish Malhotra has been roped in to design costumes for Vijay's upcoming movie, which is tentatively called – "Vijay 58".
The stylist is returning to Kollywood after four years. He had earlier worked in Rajinikanth's blockbusters "Sivaji" and "Endhiran – The Robot"
"After' Robot' styling for a Tamil film :-) On my way to Chennai," Malhotra announced the news on Twitter without revealing the name of the film. His other tweet mentioned that he is going to design Sridevi Kapoor's costumes.
He posted, "Feels like when I started my career as a costume designer: Chennai Film shoot with my favourite@SrideviKapoor :-)"
Sridevi is making her comeback to Kollywood with "Vijay 58" and it is easily understood that he is designing costumes for Ilayathalapathy's flick.
In "Vijay 58", the yesteryear sensational actress will play the role of a queen and the mother of Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep, the commander of the kingdom. The makers of the movie are taking extra care to give a beautiful look to her character.
