Tamannaah Bhatia falls in love with Krishna for Torani photoshoot
After showing Radha’s devotion to Lord Krishna to showcase the stages of love, the latest photoshoot features Tamannaah Bhatia depicting the ‘deewanagi ya madness’ of love, which is also the theme of the new images of the Janmashtami campaign. Explaining the idea behind the dreamy images, a part of the caption says, “Her reflection is Krishna, her shadow is Krishna, her name is Krishna, she looks at his arms and they look blue to her. If Krishna is the moon, Radha is his light.”
What did Tamannaah Bhatia wear for the campaign?
Torani dressed Tamannaah in an orange and red embroidered lehenga choli for the photoshoot. The blouse featured a deep V neckline, intricate zardosi embroidery, scalloped border, sequin embellishments, half-length sleeves and a slit in the front and sides.
This bright red lehenga comes with an A-line ghera, and features a scalloped border and delicate gold embroidery on the hem. The orange organza dupatta draped over the head comes with shimmering gold cluster diamonds and a zardozi embroidered border.
Torani painted Tamannaah’s body in blue to depict Radha being completely immersed in love for Krishna. For jewellery, she chose gold and emerald polki pieces, including a choker necklace, jhumkis, kadas and maang tika. Hair tied in a bun and gajra, dark brows, kohl-lined eyes, red bindi, pink lip shade and kohl-lined eyelashes completed the makeup.
Why did the brand choose Tamannaah Bhatia for the role of Radha?
In a clip, Karan Torani said that he wanted an actor who would show ‘what Radha’s soul was searching for and feeling during those stages of love’. He said, “Right after the first phone call, Tamannaah told me ‘I surrender myself to you’. For me, this was most important to portray her confidently as Radha; I needed someone who would trust her, knowing that I wouldn’t do injustice to the story or to her.”
