A very high profile fashion magazine has flown to Johannesburg to shoot Upen in the jungles of South Africa. This should give Upen Patel yet another reason to be pleased by the way his career has taken off with big banners and stars.

Upen maintains that style is in his blood. He loves everything that is stylish. Even the film he is shooting presently in South Africa, 'Shakalaka Boom Boom' is a stylish film where he plays the character of a style icon.

Says Upen, "I love fashion as it's in my genes. Even the film which I'm doing presently is a stylish film. Manish Malhotra is the one putting together my look for the film".
