Designer Neeta Lulla said she created almost 3,000 costumes for actors, supporting cast and junior artists of 'Shaakuntalam', which features Samantha Ruth Prabhu. "'Shaakuntalam'...excited me...We did Samantha's look test...There were times when...costumes were heavy...she really adapted to them well," she said. Lulla's team had 20-25 people who worked on accessories, flowers and costumes.
