UTV Motion Pictures and Madhur Bhandarkar have announced a new project titled 'Fashion', which will showcase the glitz and glamour of the ramp along with the backbiting and superficiality of the green room.
This is the first time that UTV Motion Pictures, one of India's top studios and Madhur Bhandarkar, one of the most heralded filmmakers of today, are collaborating on a project. It promises to be path breaking.
'Fashion' depicts how sometimes beneath the glitz and beyond the glamour, a tale of compromise and killer ambition lies. The flash and dazzle world of Indian fashion has a darker side to it that has not been uncovered. What lies beneath the airbrushed, picture perfect surface is often a cutthroat world of forgotten morals and flawed ethics. That's what Madhur is going to expose.
Madhur Bhandarkar says, "I am looking forward to working with the UTV team on 'Fashion', which promises to be one of my most ambitious and exciting projects. I am currently in the process of developing the concept and screenplay with UTV Motion Pictures and the creative team and we will be ready to hit the ramp soon."
'Fashion' will go on the floors in early 2007 and UTV Motion Pictures is targeting a release in the third quarter of the year. Talks are now on for the lead roles, including that of the protagonist - a female model, whose meteoric rise to fame and fortune reflects the realities of the fashion world. |
