The teaser for "Gustaakh Ishq" has been released, offering a glimpse into a world of old-school romance starring Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh. The film, produced by Manish Malhotra under his Stage5 Production banner with his brother Dinesh Malhotra, also features Naseeruddin Shah and Sharib Hashmi. "Gustaakh Ishq - Kucch Pehle Jaisa" is slated to hit theaters in November.

The 47-second teaser hints at a period love story, with Vijay and Fatima seemingly head-over-heels for each other. The film appears to be set in an earlier era, possibly in the lanes of Old Delhi and the fading kothis of Punjab. Naseeruddin Shah's voiceover adds to the old-school, poetic feel of the film, giving a taste of the love story to come. The teaser also offers golden-tinted visuals throughout the film. Shah seems to be playing a villainous or morally ambiguous character in Vijay and Fatima's love story.

Manish Malhotra, a celebrated fashion designer, is making his debut as a producer with "Gustaakh Ishq". He shared that his love for cinema began in childhood, and the silver screen shaped his imagination and inspired him to become a designer. Malhotra feels that stepping into film production is his way of giving back to the medium that has given him everything.

The music of "Gustaakh Ishq" is composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, known for bringing an old-world charm to his creations, and the lyrics are penned by Gulzar. The film was previously titled "Ul Jalool Ishq". The new title, "Gustaakh Ishq," explores a poetic undertone that is also visible in the teaser.
