The lead roles have been played by Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Aditi Rao Hydari. Through this collection, Tanishq aims to revive dying art forms and to bring back the beauty of heritage and Rajasthani jewellery.

With extensive research on the jewellery of that era, the focus was to recreate exquisite pieces that would perfectly define each character according to their personality. The design team at Tanishq used gold, pearls, opals, topaz, emeralds and kundan jewellery, to bring alive the beauty of Rajasthani jewellery.
To celebrate a truly Tanishq wali Diwali, the brand has recreated the Padmavati collection for the consumers, that is inspired by the pieces worn in the film. This collection will be available in stores from 23rd September and starts at INR 75,000.
