Costume designer Smriti Chauhan revealed that actor Akshaye Khanna was initially unsure about his character Rehman Dakait's look in the film 'Dhurandhar'. Khanna emphasized that the character's street origins should be reflected in his attire, leading to a wardrobe that evolved from distressed linens and denims to silk-wool pathanis. This collaborative process involved multiple look tests and discussions to ensure the costumes accurately portrayed the character's journey and background.
