12 years of ‘Fashion’
Expressing her love for the movie, Kangana expressed in an interation that “It’s a beautiful time that the film has lived for so long and still after doing films like ‘Queen’, ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu’, still people meet me and they talk about ‘Fashion’. The walk that I have done and the dialogues I have said, the mocking tone, so many children and youngsters come up to me and say good things about it. So it’s nice that the film has lived for so long.
Reacting to 12 years of Fashion Madhur Bhandarkar said Before creating ‘Fashion’ I made films like ‘Chandni Bar’, ‘Page 3’ and ‘Traffic Signal’ which are weaved from the social strata. So for me, I always had this inquisitiveness in knowing what goes behind a ramp walk, what kind of people come there, what has been their story, etc.
I wanted to show about the ups and downs about a model’s life, and how they absorb themselves in that zone. Luckily at that time, I had been attending a lot of fashion shows and as I said earlier I had an ardent desire to know what happens inside this world.
You see girls walking without any expression while they grace the ramp. That made me curious. I eventually met a lot of people in this industry, people who choreographed the fashion shows, some of them told me ‘we always ask the models to give away a poker expression’.
People even stated, ‘Models are like hangers; we just want them to walk. Because the highlight of the fashion show is about carrying the intricate designer outfits with perfection, without paying much attention to their expressions of consciousness. You know that word ‘hanger’ stuck to me very much.
This is when I thought, I have to make a movie in this world. I started visiting the backstage, meeting and interacting with various models and people. Initially, people were very apprehensive about meeting me, after I had made ‘Corporate’ (laughs). I used to hear ‘ Madhur ne corporate world ka band baja diya’.
Talking about her co-star Priyanka Chopra in the movie Fashion, Kangana said Priyanka is fabulous. She is somebody who back then also when I was 19 and she was such a big star. I was so starry-eyed because when I was in school, that time I have been watching her films and here I was in my initial years.
Priyanka was so cool. She didn’t treat me like a kid or a junior. I felt like she is a friend, who shared food with me and asked me questions like ‘how do I look?, is this ok?, how this dress is looking?’ So I didn’t feel like she is my senior and she is such a big star. It was a nice feeling that she has that ability, it’s wonderful. Kangana added.
On the work front Kangana reportedly started working on her new projects, She tweeted I have started action training for my upcoming action films #Tejas and #Dhakaad I play a Fauji and a Spy respectively in these films. Bollywood ki thali may have given me a lot but post Manikarnika success I too have given Bollywood it’s first ever legitimate action heroine.
