ADVERTISEMENT Dhawan unveiled this avatar in the teaser itself. Sources say that the two looks have been designed in such a way that they reflect his character’s journey.
“The young cop is dynamic, aggressive and stylish. Designer Sheetal Sharma has given him customised sunglasses that he will sport on his wrist like a wrist band. His wardrobe comprises chinos, linen shirts and polo T-shirts.
Kalees wanted an intense look for the character after he goes through a personal tragedy and begins life anew with his daughter in Kerala. For this portion, Varun sports white lungis and silk shirts,” reveals a source. While essays the cop’s wife, Wamiqa Gabbi plays his romantic interest as he begins a new lease of life later.
The portions depicting the character’s present day were shot in Alleppey, Kochi, and the serene backwaters of Kerala. The unit conducted a 20-day schedule in Mar.
