Madhur
Bhandarkar
has
wrapped
up
a
major
portion
of
Fashion
in
Mumbai
and
is
now
traveling
to
Paris
for
a
recce.
Few
hours
before
boarding
his
flight
for
Paris,
Bhandarkar
informs,
"I
am
now
off
to
Paris
for
a
recce
to
check
whether
everything
is
in
order
and
in
a
sane
state,
so
that
it
is
conducive
to
the
film's
shoot.
It's
a
short
3-4
days
trip
since
I
basically
need
to
ensure
the
facilities
and
logistics
and
get
some
basic
arrangements
in
place."
Why
Paris?
"Fashion
and
Paris
go
together,
anyone
and
everyone
with
the
faintest
clue
about
the
fashion
world
understands
this.
For
a
film
like
Fashion
which
is
the
first
ever
of
its
kind
in
Bollywood,
it
is
imperative
that
Paris
forms
a
part
of
the
film's
narrative.
The
place
is
an
epitome
of
fashion;
it
is
obvious
they
come
together
in
the
same
breath," says
Bhandarkar
whose
films
have
otherwise
being
rooted
in
India,
case
in
point
being
Traffic
Signal,
Corporate,
Page
3,
Chandni
Bar
and
Satta.
Since
Priyanka
Chopra
is
currently
in
Miami
shooting
for
Dostana,
how
is
work
on
Fashion
proceeding?
"We
have
quite
a
few
scenes
with
Mugdha
(Godse)
which
required
to
be
shot
so
we
have
utilized
last
few
days
for
that",
says
Bhandarkar
whose
Fashion
is
expected
to
arrive
in
the
last
quarter
of
2008,
"Once
Priyanka
is
back
from
Miami
in
the
month
of
May,
we
would
resume
shooting
for
the
concluding
portions."
"In
any
case,
major
part
of
the
film
has
been
wrapped
up
and
it
is
already
70%
complete.
Fashion
has
been
moving
at
a
good
pace
and
for
a
film
of
this
scale,
I
am
happy
with
the
way
shooting
has
been
progressing
so
far",
signs
off
Madhur.
