Jennifer Aniston's upcoming film "Murder Mystery 2" has a unique India connection: the "Friends" actor wore an ivory Manish Malhotra lehenga for an Indian wedding sequence in the Netflix film.

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.
