Milan Luthria’s Sultan Of Delhi On Disney-Hostar

Reimagining the charm of old India and creating a visual spectacle on-screen Milan Luthria marks his OTT directorial debut with this larger than life mass entertainer   Sultan Of Delhi  which is all set to release on 13th October 2023 in Disney+Hotstar. The series stars Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anjum Sharma,  Vinay Pathak , Nishant Dahiya ,Anupriya Goenka, Mouni Roy, Harleen Sethi and Mehreen Pirzada.

When we think of a hero from the 60s era,we can only think of a muscular, young man with a sense of rhythm and style that will grab the audience’s eyeballs. Tahir Raj Bhasin effortlessly slips into the role of Arjun Bhatia. From action sequences, to driving vintage cars, he will be seen acing it all.

 Talking about his character in the series, Tahir Raj Bhasin said, “One of the most exciting things about working with Milan Luthria is seeing how much detail he puts into planning, the style and the looks.”

    The  styling, says Tahir, had to be meticulous. “I remember we spent weeks just getting the hair style right for Arjun Bhatia. Celebrity hair stylist Hakim Aalim was called in and after a few trials and hair cuts we hit upon a perfect look . The costume designers Jia and Malika did endless rounds of costume trials to get jeans with the right vintage cut and the right vintage jackets. Arjun’s outfits across the series were basic solid colors like black, white and shades of brown which allowed me to blend in perfectly with the retro era of the 60’s.”

   For inspiration  Tahir turned to matinee idols  in  the West and at home. “ James Dean and Robert Redford were major international influences. Closer to home Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra were iconic benchmarks of style from the 60’s and 70’s. The role allowed me to sport many vintage items like classic watches, shoes and more, something I really enjoyed!”
