Arun_S and ankit-s,
This is the graphic of the Bulava missile.
1. Notice how the MIRV bus orients the RV in the correct direction for re-entry, well into the ascent phase itself.
2. The RV nose tip points downwards when in storage in the missile as shown in the graphic!
Arun_S, could you explain the process in detail and do a similar animation for the Agni series and include deployment of RVs and decoys.

Thats a graphic depicted by a journalist/reporter.Dont take it as granted as official release.
Not even in my worst nightmare,no country will put out its launch sequence and seperation of warheads.
Even if DRDO folks say, that A-3 1st stage gets seperated here and then blah blah..... its only a media wash,but not the actuals.
How it works is,folks working on the same missile (different components and sub systems) will have no idea about the actual specifications...unless the project lead speaks out.
Stage integration experts work on the related designs to seperate that particular stage at a particular instant(say after 2 min of burn time or altitude,......)
the whole key rests with the final integration design team that writes codes to control all stage releases and trajectory corrections,..... It is only them who knows the optimal values and actual schematics.
Rest assured, the less the public knows about these actuals,the much better the nation can keep the adversary at a guestimate work(high level of uncertainity).
