"I have not casted anyone yet. I will only approach them in June. But I can say that we''ll have four heros and three heroines," he adds.<br /><br />For Manish, it all began with Jackson. Malhotra, on a whim, decided to design a special <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">kurta</span> for him. Without hesitation, Michael said yes.<br /><br />Wearing his <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">kurta</span>, Michael received the Humanitarian Award and won the hearts of all by his acceptance speech.<br /><br />"The attention and fortune showered on an individual celebrity is often immensely disproportionate to his or her achievements. I have been blessed with so much and have an opportunity to do what few others can but I believe it is more than an opportunity but a duty. I accept this award as a gesture of encouragement from the people of India and a commitment to do more for mankind."<br /><br />Later, Manish met Jackson in Munich where he again designed for him. He also designed a pair of jeans for Campbell and through Parmeshwar Godrej he designed for Lady Andrew Webber for the <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Bombay Dreams</span> premiere in London.</div> </div>
