Chaitrali Dongre is one such costume designer, who has not only designed costumes for many Marathi films; but has also won popular awards.

Q: How did you enter this creative profession.?
A: I began my career, as an assistant costume designer for the film ‘Uttarayan’ and thereafter found my way, into this profession.

Q: Now days, most of newcomers want to be on screen; but what about the other opportunities available, behind the screen ?
A: True, 90% of the people want to be on screen, as actors . But, there are many opportunities in technical departments as well. However, in this industry , reference is very important. At the same time, talent is equally important, as without talent, you can’t prove yourself.

Q: As a costume designer, how do you work on costumes? Do you follow any specific style ?
A: I read the script first. After that, I discuss with the director and art director to complete the look design . Then, according to this look, I prepare the costumes. But, for that period and location, is very important . Similarly, tone colors & patterns are also to be taken into account, while designing the costumes.

Q: For what types of films, you need special efforts or study ?
A: To be honest, every film is same for me. I work hard for every film that comes to me and give my 100%. Recently, I worked for films like ‘Dagadi Chawl’, ‘Elizabeth Ekadashi’ & ‘Bikers’ Adda’ . Each film was of different genre. Fashion keeps changing every time. Most of time, old fashions are reintroduced , with some new changes.

Q. Besides costume designing, you are also known as a casting director. Saw you name in the credits of ‘Biker’s Adda’ . What challenges are faced by a casting director?
A: It is always easy to suggest a known artist, but in this case also, we have to take care about his look test and character involvement. Also, we need to think about his/her existing image, which should not reflect in his new character. In case of others, I suggest the artistes, according to the character’s requirement.

Q: Is there anything else, you do, besides these two areas of industry ?
A: I also work as an executive producer. In a couple of years, I might produce my own film . Apart from my work, I love to watch films, I like to travel and last but not the least, I do have my own publication house.
