NEW DELHI: In Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion, actress Priyanka Chopra will be seen in an unbelievable 137 outfits in the film! Priyanka plays a small-town girl, Meghna Mathur, who goes on to become a supermodel in Mumbai. The dresses support the five subtle but distinct phases her character goes through in the film.

“I wear 137 costumes in Fashion, and it was required as my character goes through a huge journey in one-and-a-half years. And we had a lot of montages in the film, a lot of ad commercials and of course fashion shows, which is why the requirement of costumes was so high for my character,” Priyanka said.

Priyanka is seen flaunting a range of clothes from designer wear, while sashaying down the ramp, to tee-shirts and jeans while portraying a model’s normal life.

Fashion is a take on the Indian fashion industry. Taking on Meghna’s role was not a cakewalk for the beauty queen-turned-actress, as she had to go for method acting for her character.

“I added on six kilograms to look like a girl from Punjab before shedding it off as the film progresses. I went through a learning process to make my character look real. I had to study the character to live it and the film is looking good,” Priyanka said.
