Given the movie’s theme, I certainly never expected that the board would give it a ‘U’ certificate, but I was sure it would receive a U/A certificate,” Bhandarkar told us.
Bhandarkar, who has co-produced the film with UTV Motion Pictures, describes ‘Fashion’ as his most glamorous film. He roped in Priyanka Chopra, Kangna Ranaut, Arjan Bajwa and Mugdha Godse to do lead roles.
The board members, who saw the movie on Monday in Mumbai, objected to six scenes including Priyanka and Arjan’s lovemaking scenes and Priyanka and Kangana’s dragging at drugs scenes. The members asked Bhandarkar and his co-producer, Ronnie Screwvala, to delete them from the movie.
As the director refused to delete the scenes, the board has given it an ‘A’ certificate.
The members refused to be convinced by Bhandarkar’s argument that the scenes being objected to are an integral part of the movie and that yanking those off would mean compromising with the realistic depiction of the movie’s subject.
“Although we had the option of appealing to the Revising Committee of the board against the Examining Committee’s decision, we chose not to do so as that would have taken a lot of time. Besides, there was no knowing what would be the decision of the Board’s higher committee,” Bhandarkar said.
‘Fashion’, which takes a close look at the other side of the fashion world, is due for release on Oct 29.
When the ‘King Khan of Bollywood’ calls someone as ‘The Sexiest Indian Actress’, then she better be someone who is out of this world. The lady in question is not just ‘merely’ out of this world, but she is a Miss World herself. Well, ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for the one and only Priyanka Chopra, who has beaten, not just the ‘blacks’, but also the ‘blues’, to be the ‘Numero Uno’ artist in the newly launched supercool music magazine ‘Blender’!
She has played a supergirl, a supermodel, a superstar and is now back on the silver screen tickling the funny bone as a sassy desi girl.

Its been a popular trend inspired from Hollywood flicks like Bond series to have a super sexy actress emerging out of the sea in a bikini. Most filmmakers promote this as the USP of the film.
2008 seems to be quite an eventful year for Priyanka Chopra. After having four of her films hit the silver screen this year, the actress is now looking forward to two big films- namely Fashion and Dostana.
