Madhur Bhandarkar recently sparked excitement among fans by sharing a photo of his meeting with actor Priyanka Chopra at her residence in Los Angeles. The photo, posted on both Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), showed the two stars smiling warmly for the camera. While Bhandarkar did not reveal the specifics of their discussion, the meeting has fueled speculation about the possibility of a sequel to their critically acclaimed 2008 film, Fashion.
He captioned the post, “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 #priyankachopra #MadhurBhandarkar”
Fans on social media quickly began to wonder if Fashion 2 might be in the works. Some users expressed their hopes for the return of the original cast, including Kangana Ranaut, who played a pivotal role in the first film. Comments like “Can we expect Kangana Ranaut X Priyanka Chopra in Fashion 2?” and “Please, please, make it happen” filled the comments section, indicating the strong desire for a sequel.
Madhur Bhandarkar has previously mentioned his interest in revisiting the world of fashion, considering the dramatic changes in the industry since the first film. In a recent interview, he expressed that Fashion has “all the potential for a sequel” and hinted at exploring the current state of the modeling and fashion industry, especially the influence of social media and the shift from supermodels to Bollywood celebrities as the main fashion icons.
Fashion was a major success upon its release in 2008, with Priyanka Chopra playing the lead role of Meghna Mathur, a small-town girl who becomes a top supermodel. The film, which also starred Kangana Ranaut, Mugdha Godse, and Arbaaz Khan, was praised for its portrayal of the fashion industry’s darker side. It won several National Film Awards, including Best Actress for Priyanka Chopra and Best Supporting Actress for Kangana Ranaut.
While there is no official confirmation about Fashion 2 yet, the recent meeting between Bhandarkar and Chopra has certainly reignited interest in the idea of continuing the story, especially considering the director’s acknowledgment of the rich material available in today’s fashion landscape.
