Madhur Bhandarkar plans Fashion 2 in mid 2016.
National award winning director Madhur Bhandarkar, who is known for his controversial, dark yet realistic style of film making has something special planned in store. Many of his notable films include Chandni Bar, Satta and Page 3. But the one movie which really made a mark was the Priyanka Chopra starrer Fashion. It was a breakthrough movie not just for the veteran director but for actress Priyanka Chopra as well. The former miss world winner owes her meteoric rise to fame to Fashion and Mr Bhandarkar. Imagine the excitement if this great movie actually got a sequel. That is exactly what may be on the cards. Bollywood trade expert Taran Adarsh recently tweeted,” Madhur Bhandarkar planning #Fashion2 in mid-2016. Will be a love triangle. Fresh subject. One top actress to be finalized soon.” According to Mr Adarsh, the bollywood big shot director is planning a sequel for the 2008 hit film, Fashion, in the middle of 2016. The story will feature a love triangle with a rather fresh subject. The casting is not done yet and one among bollywood’s top actresses will be finalized soon.

On a critical note, Mr Bhandarkar’s recent ventures have not been up to the mark. The 2015 movie Calendar Girls in particular was a rather mauled by critics who usually applaud the filmmaker’s vision. In light of his recent failures, we wonder if Mr Bhandarkar can redeem himself with Fashion 2. With this news, the fans wonder if Priyanka, who was the leading lady of Fashion, will be recast in the sequel or will the opportunity be given to someone else.
