Wednesday 21st May 2014, 03:00 PM IST Latest buzz doing the rounds in Bollywood is that actress Priyanka Chopra will not only be acting in filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar’s film ‘Madamji’, but she will also co-produce it with Bhandarkar Entertainment.
‘Madamji’ is a story about an item girl turned politician. This film will mark Priyanka’s debut as a producer.
A source close to the film said, “Priyanka and Madhur had a meeting before she left for Barcelona to shoot for Zoya Akhtar's ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’. She told Madhur that she has been thinking about getting into film production for some time now. So why not start with ‘Madamji’? Madhur was impressed and agreed immediately.”
As PeeCee will be playing a politician in the film, Madhur has taken inspiration from many real-life women ministers for her role. The source further added, “Priyanka hails from UP and wanted to do a film where she can mouth dialogues in her native dialect. This made ‘Madamji’ special for her.” However, Madhur will have to wait for Priyanka to finish the schedule of ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’, and only after that will she sign on the dotted line. |
