Justin Lin is one of Hollywood’s A-list directors, having directed almost half of the films in one of the industry’s biggest franchises, “Fast & Furious.” His filmography includes “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,” “Fast & Furious,” “Fast Five,” “Fast & Furious 6,” “F9,” and “Star Trek Beyond” from the popular Star Trek franchise.
Now, Indian costume designers Dipika Lal and Anirudh Singh has signed on for Justin Lin’s upcoming film, “The Last Days of John Allen Chau.” Dipika Lal and Anirudh are one of the well-known names in the Indian film Industry for costume design. They have worked on numerous films across various Indian movie industries. Some of their notable projecys include “Jawan,” “Guntur Karam,” “Jaane Jaan,” “Lust Stories 2,” “Freddy,” “Thank God,” “Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo,” “Sahoo,” “Badla,” “Housefull 3” “Kick” and many more.
We all have seen the quality they brought to the recent film “Jawan.” After working on “The Last Days of John Allen Chau,” their work will get to reach to a wider audience, and we hope they got more opportunities to work on the Global scale.
Unfortunately, our costume designers often don’t get the recognition they deserve. This lack of acknowledgment extends to many other professionals who dedicate their lives to bringing a vision to reality. sometimes they not only miss out on recognition but also on receiving proper credit. We should celebrate these behind-the-scenes heroes more. While the general public may not always appreciate their contributions, movie enthusiasts should write and talk more about them. Hopefully, this situation will improve in the near future.
