Director Madhur Bhandarkar is set to make his most expensive film "Fashion", where he will have models and authentic characters from the ramp play real life roles.

Bhandarkar is delighted with his latest slice of life on screen.

"As the name suggests, it will be about the world of modelling, the ramp walkers, their loves, lives and lies, so to say."

Their sex lives won't be spared either.

"I'm going the whole hog. Yes, there will be real models. But since this is a big budget film, it will also have big stars," Bhandarkar told IANS.

"After a film on the street people, it would be a nice contrast for me to go straight into the world of glamour and beauty. In fact 'Fashion' would be my most glamorous film to date."

To make sure he has the budget to make the beau monde look real, Bhandarkar's take on the ramp will be produced by UTV.

"I think this time I can really go all-out," he laughed.

He said that when he was in Delhi for the India Fashion Week, he studied, researched and interviewed a large number of models and model co-ordinators, fashion designers and others connected with modelling.

"Trust me, 'Fashion' will be an expose like never before."

The director of real-life dramas as "Chandni Bar", "Page 3" and "Corporate" says "Fashion" won't be women centric.

"It isn't going to be a female-oriented film like my other works. And by the way 'Fashion' will be my first film to be shot abroad. I plan to shoot it in Milan, Paris and other international sartorial centres.

"At least grant me the credit for always trying to be different," he remarked.
