Fashion icon Manish Malhotra is making his mark in the film industry with his production banner, Stage 5 Productions. His upcoming romantic drama, Gustaakh Ishq, boasts a star-studded cast, including Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Sharib Hashmi. The film, directed by Vibhu Puri and set to release on November 28, 2025, marks a departure from the usual on-screen characters by bringing back the 'man-hero' trope, reminiscent of Shah Rukh Khan's 90s era. Malhotra credits Vijay Varma for capturing this essence, citing his unique blend of youth and maturity, which sets him apart in today's industry. The actor's ability to portray a 'young man' quality without appearing too old or too young makes him an ideal choice for the role of Pappan in Gustaakh Ishq. Malhotra hopes that the film will revive the 'man-hero' era, a concept popularized by Shah Rukh Khan in the 90s. Gustaakh Ishq's soundtrack, composed by Vishal Bhardwaj with lyrics by Gulzar, promises to be an exciting addition to the film. With its captivating storyline and impressive ensemble cast, the movie is sure to leave a lasting impact on audiences. As Malhotra's production house continues to make waves in the industry, Gustaakh Ishq is an eagerly anticipated film that promises to bring back the magic of the 'man-hero' era.
