Now he is going to expose the fashion world.” It is taken from the Bhandarkar’s experiences while researching the subjects of his films. The Indian Express said that Chopra’s character, who indulges in drug and alcohol abuse and undergoes rehabilitation, resembles the life of British-educated model Shivani Kapur, who had similar experiences. The scene in which Ranaut’s character’s top slips off during a ramp walk resembles the experience of Carol Gracias at the 2006 Lakme Fashion Week.

Principal photography commenced in December 2007, and the film was shot extensively in Mumbai. The scene with Ranaut’s wardrobe malfunction during a ramp walk was filmed in late January 2008 at Mehboob Studios, Bandra. While filming the scene, only essential cast and crew members—included Bhandarkar and his cinematographer—were present; according to Bhandarkar, it was a sensitive scene and a sensitive issue. Chopra had to gain 6 kilograms as a girl from the Punjab, and then lose it as a model; she had five “looks” in the film, connoting the phases through which her character passes. Although the media spread rumours that Chopra was starving herself to reduce her weight to that of a supermodel, she said that her appearance was achieved with two months of training and a disciplined diet.

Time is expressed in terms of continuity in anti-fashion, and in terms of change in fashion; fashion has changing modes of adornment, while anti-fashion has fixed modes of adornment. From an academic lens, the sporting of various fashions has been seen as a form of fashion language, a mode of communication that produced various fashion statements, using a grammar of fashion. This is a perspective promoted in the work of influential French philosopher and semiotician Roland Barthes. A person cannot have a fashion by oneself, but for something to be defined as fashion, there needs to be dissemination and followers.
