  • Priyanka Chopra is ready to be 'Madamji'
"Mary Kom" star Priyanka Chopra says the team of her debut film production "Madamji" is currently giving finishing touches to its script and finalising its cast. She is glad Madhur Bhandarkar is on board to direct the project as she trusts him immensely.
 
"We are working on final stage of scripting and casting of 'Madamji'. The casting is yet to be decided. So, we won't start before November," Priyanka said.
 
Priyanka will herself star in "Madamji", but as one understands, the rest of the cast is yet to be locked.
 
She last worked with Bhandarkar in "Fashion", which won her a best actress National Film Award. She says they "get along really well and have gelled very well creatively". 
 
"I'm really grateful Madhur agreed to be my first director in my first production venture. We tried to work in some other films as well, but unfortunately that didn't happen. I completely trust Madhur," she said.
