He was supposed to look a 'little gruffly'. Recalling the old days, he said that he used to not have baths for days. He said he doesn’t know if RGV remembers it, but all the clothes that were bought weren’t any designer’s clothes or anything. They used to see it on someone or street and then he used to start collecting all these clothes which resembled 'Tapori clothes'. The only outfit that they stitched was the yellow one, the actor said.
