Madhur Bhandarkar became producer
Madhur Bhandarkar, the director, who has made hard-hitting films like Chandni Bar, Traffic Signal and Page 3, has now turned to co-producing his films with UTV. His latest and most most talked about venture is Fashion. Madhur believes that with the increasing number of corporate houses venturing into films, there has been a boom in filmmaking and hence the interest. “I want to co-produce all my films and hence I decided to launch my own banner Bhandarkar Entertainment. Every film that I direct will be co-produced under my banner,” he says.
With Fashion almost 70 per cent complete, the director refuses to divulge much about the movie. All that he says about is, “I have made my stars undergo strenuous workouts because they had to look fit on the ramp. I can’t reveal much about their roles. I want my audience to see my film and then react. There have been too many speculations on characters based on Geetanjali Nagpal and Carol Gracias in the film. But I would like to add that Kangana Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra have performed brilliantly in the film. It will be another landmark among their landmark films,” he remarks.
