Remember, Santhanam’s suave look in Dhilluku Dhuddu? It is Kavitha who designed the actor’s makeover in much to the amazement of movie buffs. “Santhanam is a good looking actor. People failed to notice his sharp features when he was a comedian and stills from Dhilluku Dhuddu brought them out.” 

Who wouldn’t want to know about the experience of working with superstar in Lingaa. She smiles, “Initially I was an assistant for the movie and I had so much to learn from Nikhaar Dhawan. Half way through the movie, I was made the co-designer which opened the doors for me to work with Rajini sir. Working in Anjaan and Lingaa gave me the confidence to helm a movie’s costuming designing with ease.” 

Kavitha who recently worked for Karthi’s Kaashmora will also work in Santhanam’s yet untitled project. “ Kaashmora was another challenge. There is a specific portion of the movie which deals with historic characters. And you have to go in details with design patterns when you design for an actress like Nayanthara. I believe, her fans will like her look when the movie releases,” she signs off.
