Nothing exudes romance and sensuality quite like a saree! When visionary costume designer Manish Malhotra brings his impeccable sense of style to the big screen, you can expect nothing short of a blockbuster.

Known for creating iconic saree moments in films like Dostana, Main Hoon Naa, and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Manish Malhotra is set to weave his magic once again in Karan Johar’s Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

Directed by Karan Johar, this larger-than-life film beautifully showcases Manish Malhotra’s design sensibilities. The saree has always held a special place in Manish’s creations.

As Manish mentioned in his Instagram post, “Enjoy the Joy of colour, emotion and music..”. Every color, craft, and fabric showcased in the film resonates with Manish’s love for cinema.

Each saree captures the enchanting essence of Manish Malhotra’s world and leaves a lasting impression. With a blend of black, red, yellow, blue, white, and pink shades combined with two-tone and color-blocking techniques, the sarees create a perfect mood board for the modern Indian woman.

Crafted with love, Alia looks radiant in the exquisite saree blouses paired with the sarees. The blouse patterns, adorned with intricate embroidery and embellishments, are set to become a highlight of this festive season.
