Why did Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra order 500 Paghdis?

Rakyesh Om Prakash Mehra is all set to put his best foot forward as he tries his hand at a different genre with a contemporary love story titled Mirziya.

His vision for the film included the cast and crew including the 500 odd Baaratis to wear ethnic wedding attires for a crucial wedding sequence. Rakyesh took it upon himself and wore the hat of a wedding planner to shoot the scene.

Rakyesh had a precise vision how he wanted the wedding to look like on celluloid. Besides personally being involved in the outfits of the lead pair, Rakyesh also ordered 500 Paghdis a la Rajasthani style to get his perfect shot.

Rakyesh has been leaving no stone unturned and is travelling to the best of locations from Udaipur, Jodhpur and desert dunes of Jaisalmer to Ladakh. The film is also associated with the best of the talent in the industry like Gulzar who is the films writer.

These only shows that the director believes in having a vision and can go to any extend to stay true to it.
