A film may be the vision of one person, but it takes a team to bring it to life. I am so grateful to be working with such talented and dedicated individuals! Honestly, we could not have had a better producer than Manish Malhotra to inspire and support us to bring to you “Bun Tikki”, a special little film that is very close to my heart," he captioned the post.

The film will be produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Dinesh Malhotra, and Marijke Desouza under Manish Malhotra’s banner, Stage 5 Productions.
