Madhur Bhandarkar in Vaishnodevi after success of `Fashion`

High on the success of his latest film "Fashion", film director Madhur Bhandarkar today visited the shrine of Vaishnodevi in Jammu and Kashmir.

"I am here to thank the Goddess after the success of `Fashion`. It is the biggest hit of my career. It is a great moment for me," Bhandarkar said.

The director said he was slightly apprehensive as the subject of the film was totally different and the film did not have any lead actor in it.

"It was a great risk for me to make a film on the background of fashion but I am happy that the public has accepted my film," Bhandarkar said.

The film`s theme is based on the story of a small town girl`s experience in the glittery world of fashion through the story of Meghna Mathur, a role played by Priyanka Chopra.

The movie ran into trouble after Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) objected that Kangana Ranaut`s character in the film had a striking resemblance to Delhi`s former model Geetanjai Nagpal. The movie was later passed with an `A` certificate.

Bhandarkar`s latest offing was a follow up of his trademark movies based on real issues and people. His earlier films like "Page 3", "Corporate", "Traffic Signal", "Satta" etc were also based on similar issues.

The movie stars Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut and Mugdha Godse.

Mallika Sherawat over stressed with Hisss

Mallika Sherawat recently completed a schedule of Jennifer Lynch’s Hisss in the jungles and backwaters of Kerala. It was almost as if she was holding on for the schedule to end. On her return to Mumbai, the actress collapsed. Says Vikram Singh, Mallika’s brother and co-producer (along with Govind Menon and Ratan Jain) of Hisss, “Mallika has been suffering from extreme exhaustion and very high fever ever since she returned from Thekkady, where we were shooting. She’s resting at home but is still very weak. She had high fever on the sets but she chose to shoot through it. We had doctors and medical aid on the sets around the clock.” Though Mallika had doctors on the sets, she refused to take too much medication. Vikram adds, “Though there were doctors on standby Mallika doesn’t believe in medication. She’s a naturalist and believes getting cured the natural way or through yoga, so severe exhaustion hit her once the shoot got over.” The actress is suffering from exhaustion and high fever because of the rigorous schedule. “She was shooting every day from 5 am till late evening for the last 15 days. And it would rain heavily every day.
Also the jungle was infested with insects and leeches which crept inside her snake suit and would make it difficult for her to remove. The leeches, especially, were all over her body as she had to lie down on the ground,” confirms her brother.
But before she took ill, Vikram, Jennifer and the unit of Hisss had a Diwali celebration in the jungle. Vikram says, “We called a pandit who only chants Sanskrit hymns to do a puja. We had idols of Lakshmi and Ganesh. It was very nice and a different way of celebrating.”

After Idhaya Thirudan and Machakaran, Kamna Jethmalani is now acting in the Raghava Lawrence starrer Rajathi Raja in Tamil, which has four other heroines. The upcoming sexy young thing, whose second name is controversy, is also acting in Telugu movies.

In the meanwhile, she has bagged Andamaina Abaddam opposite Raja, directed by Ravi Raja Pinisetty. She has also signed another untitled flick starring a debutant. Mohan Vadlaptala of Mallepoovu fame is producing it.

The actress said that she is equally busy in Tamil and Telugu and she is extremely happy that audiences in both the languages are accepting her.
