Michael Jackson is regarded as one of the most significant figures of the 20th century. Over a four-decade career, his world record music achievements broke racial barriers in America and made him a global figure. It was in 2009, when the music legend died of acute propofol intoxication in Los Angeles at the age of 50.
Talking about Manish, he made his costume designing debut with the film Swarg in 1990. It starred Rajesh Khanna, Govinda and Juhi Chawla. The same year, he was hired by Sridevi to style her photoshoot looks. In 1993, he designed a complete look for the late Sridevi's character in Mahesh Bhatt's Gumrah.
Over the years, he has designed costumes for several movies including names such as “Kaun?”, “Asoka,” “Kabhi Khushi Khabie Gham…”, “Veer-Zaara”, and “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” to name a few.
