Farah Khan wants to give Shah Rukh Khan a complete image makeover in her next movie Om Shanti Om .

One can expect something new when Farah Khan happens to be at the helm of things. She made a superb directorial debut in 'Main Hoon Na'. And now she will incorporate the fashion statements and styles of 1970s into her next venture 'Om Shanti Om', which again has Shah Rukh in the lead role.

The movie will feature Deepika Padukone as SRK's heroine. Others in the cast are Shreyas Talpade , Kiron Kher and Bindu.

Farah has reportedly hired three designers to do costumes in the film. Karan Johar will design SRK's outfits, Manish Malhotra will design for Deepika and Sanjiv Mulchandani for the rest of the cast.

The costumes will be from the fashion of the 70s : hippie kurtas with pop-art prints and polka dots, printed shirts with long collars, and ghararas with crocheted flowers, etc.

Even the hairdos of the main actors will be reminiscent of the styles of the 70s.

Farah, who has been a great admirer of entertainers from the 70s, says her movie 'Om Shanti Om' is not in any way based on Subhash Ghai's movie 'Karz' that had a song with the same title.

Farah has been busy with her movie's pre-production work. She wants to begin shooting early next year. The film is said to have an approximate budget of Rs 30 crore.
