/> There has been a change of plans regarding the climax of Fashion. Earlier the director had planned to shoot the Paris Fashion Week live in July.

But now he'll be recreating the Fashion Week in Paris during the season of he event.

Says Madhur, "We're working out a deal with the French government. We'll show Priyanka walking the ramp, of course. But we won't shoot the Fashion Week. We'll put up a set in Paris. It would be 4-5 days of shooting.

We want to capture Priyanka framed against the Eiffel Tower and also show her walking the ramp in Paris as a super-model. And we'll also have a bit of footage from the real Fashion Week."

Madhur's next project Jail, a gritty hardhitting film on a prison escape will again have to be done on a set. Madhur wanted to shoot it in a real prison.

"But too many practical problems. Jail will be situated in a prison. It'll be in the thriller format. I've the subject right from the time I made Chandni Bar. Now I've completely revamped the film."

Madhur has cast Neil Nitin Mukesh in Jail "I saw his work in Johnny Gaddar and I knew he was perfect. I don't think a prison story like Jail has been done so far in Hindi. I always want to go into genres that are new for me and for the audience."

Jail will be a 2-hour tautly-intended thriller produced jointly by Madhur Bhandarkar and Percept Pictures. "I'll now make all my films in collaboration with the another company. Percept has been with me through my last few film barring Fashion which I co-produce with UTV."

Madhur is taken aback by the National award. He was caught in the traffic in the pouring rain when news of the National award for Traffic Signal.

"Since the National awards are running a a year later I wasn't even aware that Traffic Signal was up for consideration. I was stuck in the torrential rains when a news channel from Delhi called to inform me.

I thought it was a joke. Later the phone started ringing.Traffic Signal was very difficult to make. There were sixty characters. And half of them were non-actors, straight from the streets. And we did no workshops. "

Though Madhur has won National awards for both Chandni Bar and Page 3 this is his first Nation award for best director. For the first time two films of the same director were competing against each other.

"My Traffic Signal and Corporate were in the race together.Both are my babies and equally important. I felt very sad when Chandni Bar and Page 3 didn't get enough popular awards. But I've no complaints. Without a godfather I've today created a niche for myself. I've acquired a branding today. And I'm proud of my achievement."

Fashion budgeted at Rs 20 crores is Madhur's most glamorous and expensive film to date. "Traffic Signal was made at a cost of Rs 4 crores. Chandni Bar was made for 1.5 crores. Fsahion is a big financial leap.

Because of the kind of opulence that the film has, we needed a big star. Priyanka Chopra is a glamorous star.Fashion couldn't have been made without her.And now I'm looking forward to finishing with the film with her in Paris."

For his past films Madhur has been turned down by Karisma Kapoor(Satta), Kareena Kapoor(Page 3), Aishwarya Rai (Corporate).

Madhur sighs, "It's taken me a long time to get here. Earlier the anthem for Bollywood was Jeena yahan marna yahan from Mera Naam Joker. Now it's Kitne ajeeb rishte hain yahan par from my film Page 3."
