Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar said that he was inspired by Deepika Padukone and business tycoon Vijay Mallya for his upcoming film Calendar Girls. Mr Bhandarkar said, "We have taken inspiration from a lot of people like Vijay Mallya, who launches a calendar every year. I share a good relationship with him. Deepika Padukone, who herself was a calendar girl, also inspired me for this film." "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," he added. Calendar Girls is scheduled to release on September 25.
