This is not the first time that Manish Malhotra is making headlines for his alleged directorial debut. Back in 2021 too, the designer confirmed that he would soon make his directorial debut with a Dharma Productions film. Reports then claimed that the film would be supposedly a musical, set during the partition era.
A source had then told the Hindustan Times, “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.” However, nothing was heard of the film later.
