Fashion is Madhur most positive film
October 30, 2008 Filed under Priyanka
Actress Priyanka Chopra, who is playing the lead in Madhur Bhandarkar`s upcoming film `Fashion`, says it is director`s most positive film till date. “I think `Fashion` is the most positive film to come from Madhur.
After `Chandni Bar` it is for the first time that emphasis is on a particular character rather than a particular subject. Fashion industry is just a backdrop,” Priyanka told PTI. Madhur Bhandarkar is known for exploring the dark side of society through his films like `Chandni Bar`, `Corporate` `Page-3` and `Traffic Signal`.
When asked about the rumours of possible expose of the industry through the film, Priyanka says, “It is nothing like that. Whatever problems that come up to my character in the film are not because of the profession but because of the choices that my character makes in her life.”
“The actress, however, admits that the film has a casting couch scene. “Yes, there is a scene when the character is approached with such offer but again it has been depicted in a positive light because the model refuses the offer and decides to stand up on her own,” Priyanka says.
Talking about the film receiving an `A` certificate by the Censor Board, the actress says too much hype is being created around the issue. “The board had objections to certain drug abuse scenes.
Madhur had the choice to cut those scenes or take an A certificate. He agreed with the later and I support his decision,” Priyanka clarifies.
“We are not trying to glorify the drugs in the film but have tried to give a positive message. In fact, Madhur`s previous films had bigger drug abuse scenes.
Censor has probably become strict following the recent smoking ban,” she says.
