Madhur Bhandarkar insists all is well between him and Priyanka Chopra despite the failure to launch Madamji mainlining her. “The equation between Priyanka and me has not changed one bit. We are still on the same page with regard to our next film together, Madamji. The reason the film got postponed was because PC was busy with Quantico shoots and was constantly shuttling between Mumbai and Los Angeles. Even I was busy with Calendar Girls, so we couldn’t start the film.” He further adds. “I need Priyanka’s dates at a stretch because I want to finish this film at one go, in a proper sequence. Priyanka could not give me dates and therefore, I rescheduled this project,” he says.

The director denies that he shelved the film after Mallika Sherawat’s movie (which was on same lines) Dirty Politics released. “Madamji is going to be amazing. It is about an item girl who forays into politics. I have added a lot of references from real UP politics.”
