12 years to #Fashion ��
It was 2008. I was just about 5 years into my acting career and had already seen extreme highs and extreme lows in it. I was told taking on this movie could be a risk. But working with the brilliant Madhur Bhandarkar and his incredible team of writers, Ajay Monga, Niranjan Iyengar and
Anuraadha Tewari
, for almost 6 months before we even started the movie, was one of the most collaborative experiences of my life.
Then on set, bringing life into all the various shades of my character Meghna Mathur, was one of my first truly immersive acting jobs. Thank you to the incredible cast that made everything I did much better. Thank you to the amazing technicians and crew, who through all the craziness, always brought it home.
And most importantly, thank you to the audience who went to theatres to watch what was then billed as a ‘female-centric’ movie and made it a huge success which in turn helped showcase that women could hold their own at the box office. #Jalwa
Thank you all for remembering this piece of work with such fondness. #20in2020"
Meanwhile, in a conversation with Etimes, director Bhandarkar spoke about how the film stays relevant in the society till today. He said, ''I was very happy to have Priyanka and Kangana on board. Even though Kangana had a short screen time, she created a significant impact. Kangana's entry during the ramp walk was so huge on the sets, we got goosebumps there itself."
