Ahmedabad-based stylist Pauravi Joshi has been roped in to style the look of the actors in the film. Joshi, who has worked as a stylist in many Gujarati films, shared about the process of making the costumes the actors wear in the film. “The whole process was bit lengthy as we couldn’t give the actors worn out clothes to wear, so we bought some clothes from Gujari Bazaar. Then we used some herbal colours and other products to ‘age’ them, which took us around 11-12 days per piece.”

The film’s shooting is expected to wrap up by the end of this month and it is looking at a mid-2017 release.
