In the meanwhile, Vijay Deverkonda's stylist Harmann Kaur revealed why the 'Liger' actor wore slippers worth Rs 199 to the event.

Harmann said that several brands and designers were in touch with her for Vijay's costume. However, Vijay said he wanted to be closest to the character. Therefore, he asked for a very underdog look. He specifically asked the stylist for basic slippers.
