Quick Gun Murugun's flashy costumes have been thought out very well by the film's stylists, production designer Meenal Agarwal and costume designer Sanjeev Mulchandani. And the outfits certainly bring out Murugun's flamboyance and Mango Dolly's sensuousness well.
Married to actor Rajat Kapoor, Meenal gave up her photographer job to do something different with her career. She joined Suzanne Caplan Merwanji, the production designer of such films like Snip and Dil Chahta Hai. Meenal did not get a chance to be a part of Suzanne's movies but she did work for ads like Centre Shock, Cadburys and Fevicol.
Her first film was also her husband's directorial debut -- the well-reviewed Raghu Romeo. She later designed for Rajat's Mixed Doubles and Mithya.
When director Shashank Ghosh approached Meenal to style his new cowboy film, Quick Gun Murugun, Meenal happily signed on. She watched a couple of Hollywood Westerns -- mostly Clint Eastwood movies -- for inspiration. The film she repeatedly watched for inspiration was Once Upon A Time In Mexico, starring Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek and Johnny Depp.
Meenal tells Patcy N how Quick Gun Murugun and Mango Dolly came to be so stylish.
