Dressing up Kayamkulam Kochunni
The HinduParts of Dhanya Balakrishnan’s account of working on location for Kayamkulam Kochunni are hilarious. Like how the team had to keep an eye out for ‘modern inner wear’ in order to ensure authenticity during filming, “but somehow, thanks to the junior artists, they always found their way in. And very often ‘modern clothing’ sneaked in and each time the team caught it in the nick of time, and as the film hit screens, the ‘what if we missed’ worries her. In fact Nivin would trudge around the sets in wooden slippers that his character wears for ‘practice’. However, today actors are willing to become the ‘character’ rather than insist on wearing designer wear.” She took creative liberties like fabric she used for the uniforms of British soldiers, all the while sticking to the basic palette.
