Gutaakh Ishq’s Backdrop
Directed by Vibhu Puri, Gustaakh Ishq is set in the narrow lanes of Purani Dilli and the old kothis of Punjab. It is a story of love, desire and emotions that are often left unsaid. The architecture adds to the feeling of memory and longing. Alongside Vijay and Fatima, the film also stars Naseeruddin Shah.
Manish Malhotra Turns Producer
Designer Manish Malhotra is making his debut as a producer with this project under his banner Stage5 Production. In an interview with IANS, the designer spoke about this new journey, saying, “My love for cinema began in childhood. The silver screen was my doorway to the world…watching colours, clothes, music, and lifestyles unfold in cinema halls shaped my imagination and inspired me to become a designer. Today, stepping into film production feels like my way of giving back to the medium that has given me everything. With Stage5 Production, the journey ahead is about embracing the unexpected; through stories, genres, and films that continue to surprise and inspire.”
Gustaakh Ishq will be released in cinemas worldwide on November 21.
