What people are saying
Most of the costumes used to weigh around 16 to 20 kg, including the jewellery. But we had a few heavy pieces, like the Ravana-look associated with Lanka, his wedding costume, and the costume he wore for Shurpanakha’s wedding. Those were close to 30-33 kg, if I remember correctly
Ravana was the king of the land of gold. He had to be shown as extremely opulent. The kind of yin and yang that Ravana has, we had to play around with his jewellery.
We used different motifs in Ravana’s jewellery, depending on the phase he was in — snake, demon face, animal face, and a trishul (trident), since he was a Lord Shiva devotee. Even within the same look, there were many contradictions, from one hand of Ravana to another.
