Rattanpur has a great
significance in the story
of Sardaar Gabbar Singh.
As the film’s plot is weaved
around the town, the film
is predominantly shot in it.
The major characters of
Rattanpur have crude and
grey shades and most of the
characters are unpolished.
In Sardaar Gabar Singh, one
could find genuine depiction
of town life. Be it their
dressing or culture, everything
stands out in the film. Though
it’s a small town, the fashion
element hasn’t given up.
Costume designer Rajesh
ensures each character has
its own fashion statement.
And colours, designs of
costumes of cast have been
fixed much before the film
gone onto the floors.
An earth colour palette is
chosen as the base and the
makers make sure only the
colours from the palette are
used for the characters and
background. Veering towards
the town’s climate, Rattanpur
has tropical climate which
makes it hot and humid. It has
many agricultural fields. The
staple food of people here is
wheat, jowar, maize and rice.
The major livelihood of people
is horse breeding. Hosting a
Marathwada horse fair is part
of their culture.
