Aalim Hakim remembered the backlash on Saif Ali Khan’s Ravana look in Adipurush: ‘He said don’t leave your house, it is public, Tereko Maen Ke Li’. Hindi film news

Celebrity hairstylist Alim Hakim, who has worked on countless Bollywood blockbusters, recently addressed the memes that targeted Saif Ali Khan’s look as backlash and Ravana around Edipurush. He opened his role in controversial design options and clarified the process behind the curtain.‘I am just a technician. The director has vision ‘Responding to criticism with the purpose of Saif’s look and character design, Alim turned himself away from the creative direction, saying, “As I always say, I am just a technician. The director has vision, and I work hard to bring it to life.”He said, “Om Raut Sir is a visionary. He had made a separate interpretation of Ravana, not traditional one people in the serial of Ramanand Sagar. He was inspired by a Viking-like beauty. But when you are working with religious subjects, creative risks can also backfire. ,‘I got a lot of calls … people said don’t leave your house’Recalling the acute backlash, Alim revealed that the people inside the industry and his own friends jokingly and even warned him: “I got a lot of phone calls from the industry … people were pulling my leg, saying that ‘Beeta, Bahna Nahi from home, Public is lying, not people come out, do not come out of their homes,”He said, “Everyone knew that I had done this, even if I have never given any interview or posted about it. I never claimed that this look was publicly mine. But the moment it was leaked, people started pointing to the fingers.”

‘You win something, you lose something – this is creativity’Despite the criticism, Alim carried forward the controversy, comparing the ups and downs of a cricketer’s performance: “If you have hit a century and then get out at zero, the whole country abuses you. But it does not mean that your talent disappears. It is the same in our region.”Calling it a “part and parcel” of the creative industry, he said, “You do your best. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not happen. But you have to keep trying.”
