Nivedita Koliyot had her dream come true when she got to work in the recent Tamil period movie Ponniyin Selvan: 1.
It was watching another movie by Mani Ratnam - Iruvar, back when she was a student of fashion, that encouraged her to be a costume designer. Now, as an assistant costume designer associated with Mumbai-based ‘Team E’, led by designer Eka Lakhani, Nivedita got to be part of Ponniyin Selvan: 1, which she says, was a dream project for her team.
Hailing from Ashokapuram in Kozhikode, Nivedita has been with Team E for around four years. Being part of the south Indian franchise of Team E, she has been part of designing the costumes of several Tamil movies such as Aditya Varma and Vaanam Kottattum, besides the web series Queen based on the life of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa.
