As opposed to her hip and trendy image, Preity Zinta essays the role of a naïve Kashmiri village girl in The Hero.

Zinta's costumes have been created by designer duo Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla to make sure the 'look' is right.

Besides dressing up Dame Judi Dench at the Oscars for three consecutive years, Jani-Khosla also designed Madhuri Dixit's ensembles in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas.
