According to the fashion brand\u2019s website, the jacket symbolises the \u201cconcepts of surveillance and personal autonomy in the digital age\u201d and has been completely woven by hand by artist-tailor Master Ijaz from Kasur, Pakistan. Currently sold out, the jacket is priced at Rs.123,200.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that Anil has donned the Pakistani brand. The Bollywood icon wore another Rastah jacket in his 2022 release JuggJugg Jeeyo<\/em>, as shared by the apparel brand\u2019s co-founder Zain Ahmad on X (formerly Twitter) who called it a \u201csurprise\u201d. “Woke up today and was pleasantly surprised to see the legend Anil Kapoor in Rastah for his new film JuggJugg Jeeyo<\/em>!\u201d read Zain\u2019s post. One of the film posters shared by the Mr India<\/em> actor also confirmed that he was indeed wearing a blue upper from Rastah.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Zain also shared a collaborative shoot with Anil’s son, Harshvardhan Kapoor, who is also an actor and producer, on Rastah\u2019s Instagram page. The post saw Harshvardhan in a Rastah handcrafted denim yarn-dyed jacket with Anil standing behind him in an orange button-down and white inner paired with white pants.<\/p>\n
