Bollywood can't afford him, says the czar of Indian couture Manav Gangwani,u00a0 before his first show in the city this Friday

Practically the whole of Bollywood is your friend. They must be coaxing you to design for them in films. Why don't you do that? Is being Delhi-based the reason?
They certainly have and there are a few song sequences for movies that I have done as special cases. But movies take up way too much time, which I am really short of. Besidesu00a0 my brand is super expensive for all the production houses. In Bollywood, the budgets for costumes are still negligible compared to the other expenses, which is not the case in Hollywood.
