On Monday night, the streaming service shared the film's trailer on Twitter, in which Aniston is seen participating in the ceremony as a bridesmaid.

The ivory-colored chikankari lehenga was chosen by renowned Hollywood costume designer Debra Mcguire for the beach wedding scene, according to Malhotra's team.

The gown features "graduating rectangular motifs, intricately embroidered floral blouse with pearl droplets, and a handmade back tassle," which took about three months to create.

"Murder Mystery 2," directed by Jeremy Garelick, picks up four years after Nick and Audrey Spitz (Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston) solve their first murder mystery.

When they are invited to celebrate the wedding of their friend, the Maharaja (Adeel Akhtar), on his private island, the two are now full-time detectives struggling to get their private eye agency off the ground.

"Trouble follows the Spitzes again when the groom is kidnapped for ransom shortly after the festivities begin, making every glamorous guest, family member, and the bride herself a suspect," according to the plotline.

Mark Strong, Melanie Laurent, Jodie Turner-Smith, Kuhoo Verma, John Kani, and Dany Boon also appear in the film.

The screenplay was written by James Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt is also involved in the production, as are Sandler, Aniston, Tripp Vinson, James D. Stern, A J Dix, and Allen Covert.

Co-producers include Joseph Vecsey, Judit Maull, and Jonathan Loughran.

"Murder Mystery 2" will be available on Netflix on March 31. PTI RDS RDS SHD SHD

Global streaming giant Netflix is coming up with the docu-series titled 'The Romantics', which will feature 35 leading voices of the Hindi-language film industry and dive into the history of Bollywood through the lens of the Yash Raj Films' impact over the past 50 years in making Bollywood globally known.

Sharing details on the collaboration, Monika Shergill, VP - Content, Netflix India said, "Fondly remembered as The King of Romance, Yash Chopra's films brought in a new wave of emotion, individualism and cultural change to Hindi cinema and helped turn one of the biggest film industries in the world into what it is today. In celebration of the iconic songs, stories and the nostalgia, we're partnering with the creative powerhouses, YRF and Smriti Mundra to bring The Romantics to our global audiences. The gripping documentary series is the real and definitive story of Yash Chopra and his son Aditya Chopra's journey to building a world class studio and will give our viewers a glimpse into the lives of one of the most influential families in Bollywood film history."

He died on October 21, 2012, just a month before the release of his last film, 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'.

The limited series, which was co-directed by Prashant Nair and Randeep Jha, will begin streaming on Netflix's OTT service on January 13 of 2023. "Trial by Fire" is based on the sad incident from 1997, when a fire engulfed Delhi's Uphaar Cinema. Trial by Fire: The Tragic Tale of the Uphaar Fire Tragedy, written by Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, is the source of inspiration for the project.

The show depicts the parents, Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, who lost their two children in the fire, as they endured a terrible but resolute journey. The limited series will explore the various lives affected and devastated by the fire as well as their never-ending struggles to seek justice over a twenty-four-year period.

Prashant Nair, the show's creator and director, provided additional information "Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy serve as admirable models of the kind of tenacity and perseverance required to make even a small difference in this nation. It is genuinely horrifying what happened to them and how they were compelled to struggle for justice, and, regrettably, there are numerous other people in similar situations today.

We are appreciative of Netflix for being such brave collaborators in this project." The project also includes Rajshri Deshpande, Rajesh Tailang, Ashish Vidyarthi, Anupam Kher, Ratna Pathak, Shilpa Shukla, and Shardul Bharadwaj.
