Tarun Tahiliani slams ‘Made In Heaven’ makers for ‘breach of faith’; alleges misrepresentation of designs

Days after author Yashica Dutt accused the makers of ‘Made In Heaven 2’ of unauthorised use of her life’s work, renowned celebrity designer Tarun Tahiliani has also voiced his grievances. He alleged that his designs were falsely represented by a fictitious designer in the web series.

Sharing images of Mrunal dressed in his designs on Instagram, Tarun expressed his disappointment and wrote, ‘It is most unfortunate when a popular OTT series violates the understanding behind the provision of clothing in the first place! Case in point: Significant portions of the second episode of ‘Made in Heaven,’ were styled using clothes provided by the Tarun Tahiliani studio in good faith to the stylist.’

Tarun added, ‘Unfortunately, a fictitious designer (actor) representing a fictitious label presented our garments! This is a shocking breach of faith. If this is what the production house intended, they should have engaged a costume designer, had costumes designed, and proceeded as they saw fit.’

Concluding his post, Tarun expressed hope that such incidents will not occur in the future.

‘Let’s hope that this scenario does not repeat itself with other designers who have graciously lent their work for OTT productions. Furthermore, it is our hope that such actions will never be considered acceptable in the future. Tarun Tahiliani,’ he signed off.

‘Made In Heaven Season 2’ premiered on Amazon Prime Video on August 10. It stars Sobhita Dhulipala, Arjun Mathur, Shivani Raghuvanshi, Shashank Arora, Vijay Raaz, Mona Singh, Trinetra Haldar, Ishwaak Singh, Kalki Koechlin, Jim Sarbh, Sanjay Kapoor, Neelam and Sameer Soni.
