Mumbai: Having designed clothes for most of Bollywood, Manish Malhotra is all set to go behind the camera, and make his directorial debut with an intense, musical love story.

He has designed clothes for over 800 films in a career spanning 30 years. Backing him in this new phase of life is his long associate, filmmaker and friend, Karan Johar, through Dharma Productions.

“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,” Hindustan Times reported quoting a source, promising that the film will “come with a splash of grandeur and elegance”, much like all his design creations.

Malhotra has worked on restructuring the role of costumes in the storytelling of Bollywood, going on to create some iconic ensembles for actors like Sridevi, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kajol, Raveena Tandon, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to the generation of Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, among many others.
