The director, known for his unique storytelling, shared that Chaitanya’s personal fashion choices and lifestyle served as inspiration for his costume designers while crafting the looks of the protagonists in these films.
He elaborated, saying, “Sometimes, even without knowing an actor personally, you feel a certain connection to them. Chaitanya is one of those people for me.” He further added, “In reality, the way you dress and even the way you drive your Lamborghini – I asked my costume designer to take references from your real-life outfits for Kabir Singh and Animal. I have never shared this before, but I thought this was the right time.”

She also acknowledged his impressive journey from Arjun Reddy to directing large-scale, highly anticipated films like Animal. According to her, audiences eagerly await his films due to his fearless storytelling and distinctive cinematic style.
