Fashion 2: Madhur Bhandarkar plans to bring sequel series to his highly acclaimed 2008 film; says it has 'all the potential..'

As an ardent fan of Madhur Bhandarkar and his groundbreaking work, I am absolutely thrilled to hear about the potential sequel to Fashion! With his keen eye for detailing the intricacies of the fashion world, I have no doubt that he will once again captivate audiences with a fresh perspective on this ever-evolving industry.


Sixteen years following the successful debut of his critically praised movie, Fashion, director Madhur Bhandarkar is contemplating a follow-up. The filmmaker has hinted at the development of Fashion 2, suggesting that the initial film possesses the necessary elements for a continuation. What’s intriguing is that this potential sequel might take the form of a television series rather than a traditional film.

In an engaging chat with Bollywood Hungama, I, being a devoted follower, shared insights from a discussion with Madhur Bhandarkar about Fashion 2. He expressed that in his view, Fashion has the capacity to inspire a sequel. He stated that the current fashion world presents a wealth of content for a filmmaker like him. He feels he possesses an abundance of material that could be transformed into a series spanning multiple seasons. Moreover, he emphasized that it’s not just suitable for a series, but also ideal for a standalone film.

Madhur stated that he finds the topic engaging, but hasn’t made any decisions yet. He pondered, “Remember when we talked about supermodels? Can you name one from the recent past? With the rise of social media, Bollywood celebrities have dominated and taken the spotlight. This is what I want to explore in Fashion 2 – where have these supermodels gone?” He further elaborated on his perspective, noting that a girl from a small town can become a model or influencer, and he aims to delve into these facets.

Discussing the 2008 movie “Fashion”, it centered around Meghna Mathur, played by Priyanka Chopra, a small-town girl who finds herself on a troublesome path following her transformation into a supermodel. The film premiered in cinemas on October 29, 2008, and was met with immense acclaim from viewers. This movie served as a significant stepping stone for Priyanka Chopra’s career, solidifying her reputation as a powerful actress.

Simultaneously, Madhur Bhandarkar is renowned for directing movies such as Chandni Bar, Aan: Men at Work, Corporate, Traffic Signal, Jail, Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji, Heroine, and others. His most recent film was Babli Bouncer, which featured Tamannaah Bhatia in the main role. This movie premiered directly on Disney + Hotstar on September 23, 2022.
