Filmmaker Matthew Vaughn asked star Henry Cavill to sport a Nehru Jacket for the upcoming film 바카라˜Argylle바카라™ and said that it is quite challenging to pull off that look but the actor managed to do it.

Vaughn said: "I felt Henry could give me all the classic spy stuff. He can give me a wink; he can do all the things I want from a spy. Agent Argylle바카라™s appearance is a bold, instantly iconic throwback to the 바카라˜80s.바카라

바카라œI have had an enduring obsession with the styles of that era, including the likes of Dolph Lundgren as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, and the era바카라™s signature flattops. That바카라™s why we decided to give Argylle one,바카라 he said.

Vaughn said that Cavill바카라™s portrayal is great.

바카라œI needed someone who could exude the essence of a James Bond-type character, but with a twist. Whoever could play James Bond, I thought, 바카라˜I바카라™m going to give him a flattop and a Nehru jacket.바카라™ It is quite challenging to pull off that look but Henry managed to do it seamlessly. Henry could make a fabulous Bond as well, and that바카라™s why we cast him.바카라

Vaughn sold Cavill on the haircut before he even read the film바카라™s script.

Cavill recalled: 바카라œMatthew said, 바카라˜Look, you바카라™re going to have a flattop. I know it sounds crazy, and maybe it is, but I promise you it바카라™ll work. Or maybe it won바카라™t. But have fun with it anyway and trust me.So, I did. Matthew is a great storyteller. He knows what he wants and his eye for detail is extraordinary."

바카라œHe and I have a great shorthand; we바카라™ve known each other for years and he always brings a sense of unique fun to anything he바카라™s working on. He바카라™s a good, straightforward communicator, and as an actor, that바카라™s what I need. At the end of the day, it바카라™s about trusting your director and leader, and Matthew is someone you can trust.바카라

Once Cavill read the film바카라™s script, he realised that the story was different from anything he바카라™d read before.

He said: 바카라œIt was unique in its own space. It was refreshing to see something new, bold and willing to take risks. There is a tendency these days for a good product to come out and then, for the next ten years, everything is just like that product, but not quite. Matthew바카라™s projects are never like that. Argylle is about as far from generic as you can get."

바카라˜Argylle바카라™ is distributed by Universal Pictures (Warner Bros Discovery) and will be released in India on Feb 2 in English and Hindi.
