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."
