Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar engaged in a “fascinating discussion” with Priyanka Chopra, the star of his 2008 film Fashion, at her Los Angeles residence on Wednesday, sparking fans’ speculation about a sequel.
Sharing a picture with Priyanka on Instagram, the 55-year-old director said he went to meet the actress at her US residence. While Priyanka sports a black shirt with floral print in the photo, Madhur is seen wearing a blue striped shirt.
“It was a delight to meet & engage in a fascinating discussion with the talented @priyankachopra at her exquisite residence in #LosAngeles. Photo shot by @iamhappyaujla,” Madhur wrote.
Fans flooded the comments section to express their hope and excitement for a sequel to Fashion. “Is. Fashion 2. Happeningg,” one of them asked, while another expressed the wish to see both Priyanka and her Fashion co-star Kangana Ranaut together if a sequel is indeed in the works.
Exploring the complexities of ambition and identity in the world of fashion, Fashion follows the journey of Meghna Mathur (Priyanka), an ambitious small-town girl who dreams of becoming a top model. As she rises to fame in the cutthroat fashion industry, she confronts the dark side of glamour. However, even after spiralling into a web of self-destruction, Meghna eventually confronts her demons and makes a comeback.
Kangana, on the other hand, plays the role of Shonali Gujral, a successful supermodel who starts out as the reigning queen of the fashion industry. As the fashion industry starts to put pressure on her, Shonali slowly loses her confidence and gives in to her weaknesses, eventually taking the path of addiction and self-destruction.
Released on October 29, 2008, Fashion grossed Rs 39.29 crore at the domestic box office. It also starred Mugdha Godse, Arjan Bajwa, Arbaaz Khan, Raj Babbar and Kitu Gidwani.
On the work front, Priyanka recently finished filming for her movie The Bluff and is currently gearing up to shoot the second season of her Prime Video spy series Citadel.
