Getting one's hands on original film memorabilia is a privilege no true cinephile would pass up.

In a rather pleasant turn of events, the outfits worn by Shah Rukh Khan and his leading lady Deepika Padukone in Rohit Shetty's upcoming release Chennai Express will be up for auction and the proceeds will go to charity.

While the guys behind the whole thing get around to selecting outfits that will be given away in the auction, here's a look at the beautiful garments donned by SRK and Deepika in the film.

As Meenamma Kochni in the film, Deepika wears a series of traditional Tamil saris and gorgeous jewellery in the film, as seen here in a still from the film.
