Drawing inspiration from Zendaya, Kapoor adopts a tailored Torani sari for method dressing, seamlessly merging style and cinematic storytelling.
Jahnvi Kapoor turned heads as she attended the Mr. & Mrs. Mahi trailer launch in New Delhi. Ami Patel designed Kapoor’s handmade Torani cricket sari. This outfit pick, which included an organza ball and wicket border stitched in a scallop pattern and pineapple leather, complemented the movie’s cricket theme. Inspired by the cricket field, Kapoor’s job and her themed advertising appearances were reflected in the sari’s striped pattern.
On May 31, 2024, one of the most anticipated films of the year, will be released in theaters. In this Sharan Sharma-directed film, Kapoor plays a doctor who trains hard to become a cricket player. Hollywood actress Zendaya serves as an influence for Kapoor’s method dressing strategy for the movie’s promotion. The It-girl, who is well-known for her parts in Dune and Challengers, has raised the standard for themed promotional attire by fusing her own style with the spirit of her characters.
The Torani commercial outfit on Kapoor is a perfect illustration of this approach clothing style. The sari was a deft tribute to her role in the movie as well as a fashion statement with its cricket-inspired designs. In other occasions, Kapoor has been spotted embracing similar theme approach. For example, she was spotted wearing a blouse with the number 6 on it, which is a clear reference to her character’s jersey number from “Mr. & Mrs. Mahi.”
There is a lot of stress placed on our look and clothing as performers. In a recent interview, Kapoor discussed her promotional approach and her attempt at method dressing. “If we can use that to draw attention to our films, then why not,” she said. Other well-known actors have also adopted this mindset. During the advertising of Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani and Gangubai Kathiawadi, for example, Alia Bhatt used a similar strategy by dressing in line with the looks of her characters in order to increase audience involvement.
