Rick has styled Akshay for his upcoming film 'Gabbar'. The designer has earlier worked with the 46-year-old actor for Shirish Kunder's film 'Joker'.
"I think you can give Akshay anything and everything and he carries it off like a dream. This time I was less paranoid around him in comparison to working with him during 'Joker' as it was my first movie and he is a big star. That time Akshay figured out what I was going through and asked me to stop being stressed," Rick told PTI.
'Gabbar' also stars Shruti Haasan, Prakash Raj, Sonu Sood but Rick has styled only Akshay in the film.
The designer has also styled his muse Malaika Arora Khan for a song in her husband Arbaaz Khan's upcoming home production 'Dolly Ki Doli'.
"This song was a little difficult to crack because it is Indian and slightly rustic, the options were limited and we were very clear we did not want to do anything similar to what has been done before by anyone. Doing this song was a challenge," Rick said.
The designer was all praise for Malaika. "She has mentored me a lot in my formative years... She still behaves like a principal whenever we are working together. She pushes me to do my best. She has confidence in my ability," he said.
