Manish Malhotra, known for his contributions to the fashion world, is now trying his hands at film production. The fashion designer has announced his second film, Bun Tikki. What makes this project more exciting is the reunion of legendary actresses Zeenat Aman and Shabana Azmi on the silver screen. Zeenat and Shabana previously shared screen space in Ishk Ishk Ishk (1974) and Ashanti (1982). Bun Tikki also stars Abhay Deol. Manish shared a picture of these three actors on Instagram and provided details about the project.
The shoot is presently underway in the beautiful locals of Shimla and Zeenat Aman took to social media to share a glimpse of her, dressed as her character in the film. Taking to her Instagram account, she wrote, “The weather was cold but the atmosphere was warm this past week in Shimla. I’ve been shooting for ‘Bun Tikki’ and it is sheer pleasure to work with such a gracious cast and crew. Long hours, interesting role, mountain views, beautiful costumes… life really can come full circle it seems. I was doing just this in my twenties! Here’s a glimpse of the elegant Sitara jaan, a character who, amongst other things, has rekindled my love for saris.”
In September, Manish had shared the poster for Bun Tikki, which featured a beautiful painting showing a child playing with his father. Currently, the team has chosen to keep the majority of the details under wraps, due to which cinema lovers are eager to witness the final outcome of this intriguing project.
Apart from Bun Tikki, Manish Malhotra is set to produce another film titled Train from Chhapraula. The movie will feature Radhika Apte, Divyenndu Sharma and Kusha Kapila, with Tisca Chopra taking the director’s chair for the project. On the other hand, the fashion designer has also confirmed his involvement in the biopic on legendary actress Meena Kumari, with Kriti Sanon being considered for the lead role.
