Enjoy the flavours of Lucknow in Aur Bhai Kya Chal Raha Hai

Multiple elements are needed to bring alive the authentic flavour and essence of a region in a show. Apart from the cast selection, dialect, dialogues, and location, costumes play an important role in establishing a character and creating a connection with the viewers. So is the case with &TV’s Aur Bhai Kya Chal Raha Hai that brings everything Lucknawi — its adab, andaaz, rehan-sehan and mizaaj through its fun and entertaining plot. To bring alive the authentic flavour and essence, the team has undertaken extensive research. Special attention has been given to the detailing in costumes, highlighting the Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb of the Mishras and the Mirzas.

Actress Farhana Fatema says, “I portray the role of Shanti, an outspoken and strong personality. She mostly wears sarees, but the colours are bright with contrasting borders adding more vibrancy to her character. The material is a mix of raw silk, pure silk, silk cotton and chanderi cotton. The perfect mix of rich fabric and carefully chosen colour palette ensures that Shanti’s look remains relatable yet does justice to her character attributes. We have also tried to follow the peculiar way of draping sarees in Lucknow, with pallus over the heads. All this helped a lot in bringing Shanti Mishra’s character to life on screen and make it authentic and relevant.”
