Is Madhur Bhandarkar’s “Fashion” going to do for Priyanka Chopra what his “Chandni Bar” did for Tabu and “Satta” did for Raveena Tandon?
The vibes between the film’s director and Priyanka who comes straight from the actioner “Drona” to the delicate intricacies of the beau monde in “Fashion” has to be believed to be seen.
“She’s amazingly focussed and intelligent. I’ve just worked for a few days with her. But Priyanka will be very special in ‘Fashion’,” Bhandarkar says.
The film’s other leading lady Kangana Ranaut is yet to start shooting. “But I’ve written some powerful confrontation scenes between the two actresses. They will be fabulous together, I know it,” says Bhandarkar.
Bhandarkar hopes to wrap up the shooting by June. He denies rumours that the film is heading for the Paris Fashion Week.
“We could shoot the fashion week in New York, Milan or Paris. And these scenes don’t have to be integral to the plot. They could just be part of the credit titles for all we know.”
“See, ‘Fashion’ is my most glamorous film to date, I don’t deny that,” admits Bhandarkar. “But to me getting to the emotional core of my characters is very important. Fashion won’t be a superficial glossy film. Like all my films it will have a very strong emotional core.”

“I’m shattered. I cannot accept her going away. As I talk to you, I haven’t come to terms with her not being alive. She was strong and vivacious… That something so ghastly could happen…,” said actress and television host Simi Garewal reacting to the assassination of the Pakistan Peoples Party chief Benazir Bhutto.
Expressing her agony, Garewal said: “It’s just so horrible. To say anything about what has happened would be belittling the enormity of the tragedy. Just five days ago, I found the most affectionate email messages from her. After the tragedy last night, crew of Rendezvous, the celebrity interview show that I host, messaged me to say they remembered how I interviewed her in Dubai.” (Read the article)

She is taking a well-earned vacation. After shooting as the derelict NRI wife in Deepa Mehra’s “Heaven On Earth”, Preity Zinta is off to Phuket, Thailand with her friends to bring in the New Year.
Last year at this time Preity had injured herself during a vacation.
“The year has been a tough one for me,” groaned Preity. “Not only did I suffer a serious injury, it has also been a year of tough challenges for me as an actor.”
“In 2007, I went into another kind of cinema altogether. From doing Yash Raj Films to playing a woman who finds herself at the receiving end of life in ‘Heaven On Earth’ has been quite a creative and cultural shock for me,” Preity told IANS.
The actress is, however, quick to point out the film isn’t only about a battered wife.
“It’s about all the people who leave India and hope to find paradise abroad, only to be stuck on wretched 16-hour jobs with no happiness or sunshine. I never knew how such marginalized women existed until I played one,” she said.
“Deepa Mehta and ‘Heaven On Earth’ have proved eye openers for me. But the film was tough on me emotionally. In the month that I was in Toronto, I went out just twice and that too to maintain my sanity. I really need a break now,” added the actress who had only one commercial release this year.
