Six years after Fashion, Priyanka Chopra and Madhur Bhandarkar have joined hands for the actress' maiden production venture, Madamji. Released under her banner Purple Pebble Pictures, it will be co-produced by Bhandarkar Entertainment and Ram Mirchandani's Rampage Motion Pictures.

The film, which will go on floors this October, is set in the murky world of politics. Says Priyanka, “I'm in love with everything to do with movies... the process, the creativity, the magic. This is an extension of that. I'm looking forward to the learning, the madness and the creative satisfaction of bringing a film alive.“

Considering the fact that Fashion won box-office success, critical acclaim and even National Awards, Priyanka is naturally optimistic about her latest collaboration with Madhur. Says she, “As a director, he has a clear vision of what he wants and his choice of stories is intriguing and exciting. When he narrated this story to me, I knew it would be a great first project for me in production. I've shared a wonderful working relationship with Madhur and Ram and we are excited about presenting Madamji to the world.“

Madhur adds, “It's a performance-oriented film about an item girl, who turns into a top-notch politician. I really get along with Priyanka and enjoy working with her.“
