Madonna and other pop stars make a living while parading around their
underwear, so why not? In all depictions of the crucifixion, front and
centre of every Catholic Church, the Lord is depicted in his underwear.
So again, why not?

Goa-born designer sisters Riddhi and Siddhi Mapxencar are happy with
their styling of actress Ileana D'Cruz in the forthcoming Bollywood
movie 'Phata Poster Nikla Hero'.
The designers have depicted Ileana as a Marathi 'mulgi' (a typical
Marathi girl) in a dance sequence where she wears a 'kashti' saree.
"We were given a brief about the whole song. Ileana was to be depicted
as a "Marathi mulgi" in a kashti saree (a traditional Marathi style of
saree).
"It was a dance sequence number so we had to pre-stitch the drape and
give it a whole feel of the real draped kashti," Riddhi said.
Siddhi said the colour of ensemble had to be bright and vibrant keeping
in mind mood of the song. "Also, there were rigorous dance movements
which had to be performed by Ileana so pre-stitched kashti saree was a
perfect choice."
The designer duo has styled some of the top names in the Hindi film
industry including Katrina Kaif ('Ek Tha Tiger'), Sonam Kapoor ('Thank
You' and 'Players') and Akshay Kumar ('Oh My God').
Riddhi said they managed to execute the assignment for 'Phata Poster...'
in a day's time. "Film work is usually done on short time bounds. It was
work of a few days though we managed it skillfully in a day's time."
Asked to compare between fashion and dress designing for films, Siddhi
said, "ramp is mostly theme-based and we have control over style, ideas
and colour.
Film scripts and looks are predetermined, so we have to imbibe the
requirements smartly and at the same time maintain our touch."
