Making Priyanka Chopra look 'red' ho
July 4, 2008 
It was a daunting task to give a futuristic look to Priyanka Chopra in Love Story 2050 .
Believe it or not, it took six months for director Harry Baweja , make-up artist Mickey Contractor, and hair stylist Thea to finalize Priyanka’s look in the film. The trio had to wrack their brains trying to imagine what the fashion and style trends would be in year 2050. Not just this, they had to match those trends with Priyanka’s character without making her look outlandish.
After much brainstorming, the trio decided to give Priyanka a red-haired look along with fashionably zany outfits.
For her redheaded look, Priyanka had to first get her hair fully bleached. After that the hair-stylist dyed her hair red. And this process was repeated twice over a period of a few days, causing damage to the silky hair of the actress. Priyanka had to get rid of split ends by cutting off her hair from the edges.
And once Priyanka slipped into her new redhead look, everyone from the director to the stylist to the spotboy was zapped. It took a while for them to get used to this unusual look, but once they did, they liked it.
In the film, Priyanka has two different looks as she plays two characters – one of Sana, a raven-haired girl in contemporary times, and another of Zeisha, a redhead celebrity in the futuristic Mumbai.
The movie, based on time travel, introduces Harman Baweja .
