Bikini tops for Priyanka, shorts for John!

Karan Johar's films have always been stylish, thanks to the ace designers he ropes in. And Dostana is no different. In fact, truth be told, the producer has outdone himself. The cast comprising of Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan never looked so eye-poppingly good as they did in the promos doing the rounds.

And it is all thanks to designers Akki Narula and Manish Malhotra. Read on as they tell Nithya Ramani how they worked their magic. Excerpts: Priyanka's sexy look -Designer: Manish Malhotra -As the movie is based in Miami, a place full sun, surf and sand, we decided to go with the holiday look. Priyanka's character is a fashion editor, hence her clothes need to be stylish and chic.

When it comes to colours, Priyanka always prefers grey, black and white. But for Dostana, we decided to experiment with bright solid colours like the ones in the citrus family. Keeping her chic look in mind, we decided to tone down the accessories. You will notice that none of her dresses have any embroidery or designs either. All her outfits are mainly in satin, chiffon and georgette.

"I don't know how or why Nikhil Advani though of a South Indian with big round eyes to play Chinese. But he did cast me. I play a half-Chinese and half-Indian.. And to get my eyes to look less big and rounded and more slanted some special makeup artistes were brought in.

They suggested tapes to stick around my eyes."Deepika then consulted her doctors. "And they cut the idea down in time. My doctors said if I stick those tapes on my eyes for twelve hours a day the shape of my face would change forever and I'd end up looking Chinese for the rest of my life. So instead we got my makeup artiste Mallika Bhatt to do my eye makeup in such a way that my eyes looked slanted."
