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.
