The Crusader

In Fashion,Bhandarkar decided to make fun of this very tendency. “I made a cameo and made other people point at me and discuss among themselves if I was making a film on the fashion world now. It was actually an effort to make fun of myself,” he says.

Jail,as we all know by now,is a film which “throws light on our prison system,as Page 3 did on media and Fashion did on the Fashion world. And Bhandarkar spent a considerable amount of time researching on the subject. “That’s what I love about moviemaking. It gives you the opportunity to delve deeply on such varied subjects. I didn’t know anything about the corporate world when I made Corporate. I’m not even a graduate but that didn’t stop me from researching on our legal system for Jail. I find the idea of taking on these issues very exciting and challenging,” he says gleefully.

Working with Neil Nitin Mukesh and Mughda Godse was,predictably,a “wonderful experience”. “I signed him right after Johnny Gaddar and I recognized the spark in him. He will go a long way. His performance in Jail demanded a lot and he was more than happy to deliver,” says Bhandarkar.

Jail,assures Bhandarkar,will bring a positive change in the prison system in our country. “I am sure it will change your attitude towards a lot of issues,” he signs off.
