Manish Malhotra, the celebrated fashion designer known for creating iconic Bollywood costumes, is stepping into the world of film production to mark his three decades in the industry. The designer recently launched his production house, Stage 5 Productions, announcing plans for three upcoming films.

The first film in the pipeline is titled 'Bun Tikki'. Slated to start in November 2023, this film will bring together veteran Bollywood actresses Zeenat Aman and Shabana Azmi. Sharing screen space after a considerable time, the actresses will be joined by actor Abhay Deol in this film that's being directed



by Faraz Arif Ansari. Jyoti Deshpande, Malhotra's partner, along with Dinesh Malhotra and Marijke Desouza are expected to produce the film under their newly established banner. Stage 5 Productions and JioStudios are also associated with the project.

“The hard work of 3:5 years of #stage5production has also lead to curating and nurturing #BunTikki a special and sensitive film starting November 2023 with @abhaydeol @thezeenataman and @azmishabana18 directed by @farazarifansari produced by #jyotideshpande @malhotra_dinesh @marijkedesouza @officialjiostudios @stage5production,” he shared on Instagram.
