Vidya’s admiration for M.S. Subbulakshmi started in her childhood, and this project is a heartfelt homage to her musical and stylistic legacy. Vidya shares, “For me, M.S. Subbulakshmi is a spiritual experience. This tribute is a labour of love.”
Guided by M.S. Subbulakshmi’s family, Anu Parathasarathy meticulously recreated the singer’s iconic sarees and minimalist accessories. M.S. Amma’s signature kumkumam, vibhuti, nose pins, and jasmine-adorned bun were beautifully brought to life. Each saree mirrors the intricate patterns that made her a fashion icon from the 60s to the 80s.
Vidya Balan’s portrayal captures the spiritual presence and grace of M.S. Subbulakshmi. Known for her transformative performances, Vidya adds, “I feel honoured to pay tribute to her in this way.” Her deep connection to the legendary singer’s art is reflected in the authenticity of this project.
