Madhur’s next film on fashion frat
Madhur Bhandarkar turns his gaze to the fashion world. After making a film on the Page 3 circuit and the corporate world he is now planning to make a film on the fashion fraternity.
“It's just a concept and I'm still working on it. I thought that no one has made a film on the fashion fraternity so far. That is what made me want to make a film on it,” said the director who has tasted success with almost each of his film, and most recently with Corporate.
Bhandarkar was seen hobnobbing with his designer friends at hotel Grand Hyatt, in the Capital, the venue of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week.
“I have come here to research, explore the different angles of the fashion world,” said Bhandarkar amid the busy lounge of the Grand Hyatt where preparations are on to wind up the five-day long fashion extravaganza.
When asked as to what kind of people has he been meeting Bhandarkar said, “There are all kinds of people here. Some of them are my designer friends. I'm exploring a human angle to the fashion fraternity and the people involved in it as a subject to my next film.”
So what really struck him the most? “Everything about the fashion industry is remarkable. The style, the grace, everything,” Bhandarkar said.
And what about egoistic designers and weird looking models? Bhandarkar could not stop his sheepish smile. “Well the concept is too premature to be talked about. It will take at least three to four months for me to develop the idea into script. Carve a human angle to it and create the kind of cinema I always make.”
When asked to name any of his favourite designers, “lots of them” came the reply. “I buy anything that interests me. I have always been in love with kurtas. I pick them up from local markets or a fashion store it doesn't matters,” said Bhandarkar.
And though he did not buy any designer clothes at the fashion week, when asked as to what would he be taking back to Mumbai? “The script of course,” said Bhandarkar with a clever grin on his face.
So we know what is coming up next from Bhandarkar, yet another film that perhaps has all the grey shades of the glamourous fashion industry.
