Baabul’ costume: Manish Malhotra dropped

It was Manish Malhotra to design Rani's costumes for forthcoming 'Baabul', but on Rani's insistence, Manish dropped and Rani's close pal Sabyasachi Mukherji roped in for the job.
"However Rani is still very fond of Manish as a person, but she has been wearing Manish's clothes for too long. She wanted to do something really different for 'Baabul'," said a source.
When contacted, director Ravi Chopra said, initially he wanted Manish to design clothes for Rani, but later he dropped his idea because Rani put her foot down and insisted on Sabyasachi.
"I was also sceptical about the fact that as Manish was doing 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna', the costumes might look the same," added Ravi Chopra.
As per reports, Rani has become so fond of Sabyasachi's design that she has set to recommend Sabya's name to Aditya Chopra and other top-ranking producers.
