Calendar Girls Inspiration

Model Akanksha Puri's character is reportedly based on Shilpa Shetty's life. She neither denies nor confirms the buzz: "All the characters in the film are inspired by some real life personalities from the film and fashion industry; 75 per cent is real life inspiration"

"When I flipped the pages of the calendar launched by Mr Mallya, I was intrigued to know more about them and how it gives them a platform to get noticed. I did speak to Vijay and told him that I am making a film like this. I also plan to show him the film," said Madhur Bhandarkar
