Onir’s “I A.M “-is a tale of 4 stories woven together taking audiences through issues and dilemmas that bruise modern Indian society.

One of the stories –“I A.M Megha” starring the beautiful Juhi Chawla sees her play the role of a Kashmiri Pandit widow based on the life of actor Sanjay Suri’s mother. 

Reveals director Onir  “Juhi’s character is that of a Kashmiri Pandit. Her character is inspired from Sanjay and his mother’s life because they are refugees from Kashmir.”

The story revolving around the life of a refugee takes Juhi (Megha) back to Kashmir after 20 years to the house she lived in and many incidents from Urvashi Suri’s life have been incorporated into the film.

Confirms Sanjay Suri who is also a lead in the film “Yes, it is loosely based on my mother’s story but it is also about coming to terms with your past. Every person who has left Kashmir will identify with that. My mother revisited Kashmir after 17 years but she still didn’t visit our house in Srinagar where dad was killed”

"I convinced Punit to cast Imran and Sonam and he did" - Manish Malhotra

He has got the first Filmfare award ever given to a costume designer. He was there for the first shot of actresses making their debut, like Karisma Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Preity Zinta, etc. He was a superstar after Rangeela for making Urmila Matondkar look like a perfect fantasy. He defines creativity as, 'Nothing intellectual'. He will make you look different even in the basic blue denims and a white shirt because he is Manish Malhotra, a self-made man with a discerning eye who knows exactly how something should look, and won't suffer fools who look otherwise. Manish is a clothing guru, a subdued personality, never flinching when it comes to speaking his mind even when the culture would not have found it appropriate. His outfits have expression, modesty, sex appeal and simplicity because that's how Malhotra is in real life. So if you are forty plus and decide to go and buy a Manish Malhotra outfit, this is what happens. You then have an age you can deserve. UK's Harrow Observer columnist andBollywood Hungama's London correspondent Devansh Patel met the man who doesn't design clothes, but dreams...because he doesn't do fashion, he is fashion.

Balaji and Milan Luthria’s Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai promises to be a super-entertaining rewind to the era of romance, smuggling, cabaret and the mafia.

Confirms director Milan Luthria “I happened to see Deewaar and loved Amitji’s all-white look when he goes for his father’s funeral in the film. I realized that the look would work for Ajay as he looks good in white. Ajay wears white throughout the film. It gives him a different identity.”

The team had to go through a grueling 37 costume changes that reflected the classic style of the 1970’s before settling on the “all white” look for Ajay.

Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai releasing 30th July 2010 follows the rise of Sultan(Ajay Devgn), and the conflict, when his protégé Shoaib(Emraan Hashmi), challenges his supremacy, and usurps power to rule the murky underbelly of Mumbai.
