Kalyani Chawla, Vice President, Christian Dior said that the movie will use 60 Dior dresses and accessories that will be put on Sonam Kapoor and other actors in the movie. On the other hand, Pallavi Tibrewal, Vice-President, Marketing, Portico, said that they would introduce 10-12 designs during the launch of the movie.
