What do Gladiator, Troy, Alexander the Great, and The Phantom of the Opera have in common?
New Delhi-based costume designer Rangarsons.
Hollywood Reporter mentions that Paramjit Singh Rana and his son Manjot have long been supplying 'military ceremonial products' to the Indian Army. Later, they found overseas takers in the Tanzanian army, Canadian police, and the Queen of England's security group.
It all began in 1982 with Richard Attenborough's Oscar-winning film Gandhi. One of the film's dress designers, John Mollo, employed Rangarsons to supply costumes and props for the film's British army.
They worked on Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning film, Gladiator. Remember the richly embroidered banners, flags, and curtains of this Russell Crowe starrer? Rangarsons helmed it all.
They are also working on the props and costumes for extras in Scott's new film, Kingdom of Heaven, featuring Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson, Jeremy Irons, and Eva Green.
Hollywood Reporter adds that for Around The World In 80 Days starring Jackie Chan, Rangarsons provided 200 props to recreate Agra in Thailand.
