As the official jewellery design house for the biopic, the Kangana Ranaut starrer will see her as well as the supporting cast adorning exquisite Amrapali jewels throughout the film.

From royal sarpech’s, delicate hair and nose pins to extravagant head ornaments, the jewellwry was meticulously handcrafted in gold plated silver studded with semi-precious and precious stones.

Our designers and artisans have worked tirelessly for over a year to achieve the desired aesthetics that the script demanded.” said, Raiv Arora & Rajesh Ajmera, Co-founder of Amrapali Jaipur.
