Designer Manish Malhotra is all set to make his directorial debut in B-Town with an intense, musical love story. He is in designing career for over 30 years. He has added his Midas touch to over 800 films through costume design and styling in these years.
For Manish, it is a new phase in his life and he has a plot already stitched in his mind. Backing him in this new phase of life is his long associate, filmmaker and friend, Karan Johar, through Dharma Productions. He said, “The story and screenplay of this intense musical love story, set in the backdrop of the partition, is also written by Malhotra. He has already envisioned the entire screenplay ready in his mind and casting for the film will begin shortly,” reveals a source, promising that the film will “come with a splash of grandeur and elegance”
From designing looks for actors (late) Sridevi, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kajol, Raveena Tandon, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to the generation of Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, among many others, Malhotra has been telling stories through all his creations for years. And from the close bond he shares with all of these actors, it will be interesting to see who eventually comes on board to headline his debut directorial project.
