Recently, Madhur Bhandarkar talked about his plans to write a Fashion (2008) sequel. In a Bollywood Hungama interview, Madhur expressed his desire to bring attention to the supermodels’ waning influence in a social media-driven era where celebrities have taken center stage and showstoppers and influencers have taken on the role of models.
Madhur Bhandarkar on Fashion 2
The filmmaker said, “I feel Fashion has all the potential for a sequel. Today, the world of fashion has changed. As a filmmaker, I feel I have a lot of material and hence, it can be turned into a show, spanning a couple of seasons. But it also is apt for a film. Hence, nothing has been decided yet. The subject, however, is interesting. Social media has completely taken over. There was a time when we used to hear of supermodels. But in the last few years, can you recall the name of any supermodel? Bollywood celebs have taken over and have become showstoppers. This is what I want to ask through Fashion 2 – where have these supermodels disappeared? A girl sitting in some small town can be a model or an influencer. I want to focus on these aspects.”
