Though Aamir has not seen Vidya's recent movie, but he praised the 34-year-old actress "I haven't seen Kahaani yet but I have heard very good things about it, people have appreciated and liked the film a lot.

Vidya Balan says, “Yes, I gained 12 kilograms for this film because this girl belongs to the South film industry and the actresses were mostly wholesome out there, especially the dancing stars. So, I had to put on weight. Initially, I was a little apprehensive and I did not want to put on so many kilos, but then I realised that if I don’t do it, I wouldn’t be doing justice to the role. So, then I went ahead and put on 12 kilograms.”

The Dirty Picture is an upcoming Bollywood biopic on the life of the South Indian movie siren Silk Smitha, directed by Milan Luthria and produced by Shobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor. The film stars Vidya Balan, Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi in lead roles. It is scheduled for release nationwide on December 2, 2011 on the birth anniversary of Smitha.

"With reference to the legal notice received and the ongoing speculation about the film, Balaji wishes to clarify that The Dirty Picture is the romantic journey of a fiercely ambitious starlet who dreams of making it big on the silver screen," the statement said.

"It draws inspiration from the strugglers in the 1980s whose indomitable spirit made them emerge triumphant and create a unique space for themselves in a male-dominated film industry. The film is not a formal biopic or biography, as is being speculated. It is a work of fiction, and any character's resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental," it added.

Vidya Balan, Rani Mukerjee shoots on the delhi crowded areas

10:41 PM januram

Vidya Balan and Rani Mukerjee had to shoot in old Delhi’s crowded areas for No One Killed Jessica. But how could that possibly happen without a mob surrounding them when Rani and Vidya are both such popular names? Director of the film, Rajkumar Gupta, who earlier made the Rajeev Khandelwal starrer Aamir, wanted to shoot the film on real lanes with hidden cameras. He wanted to shoot Vidya and Rani as part of the crowd to give an authentic feel to the film.

He did the same thing with Rajeev while shooting for Aamir in Mumbai. The candid shots with hidden cameras give a better look to the scene. He hadn’t realized the security risk he was undertaking when he asked Rani and Vidya to do it the same way.


He wanted to shoot in jam-packed lanes where vans wouldn’t be able to reach and not usual areas like Chandni Chowk. But he was suddenly very unsure of his plan when they reached the location in a van. He reveals that he was only able to do the shoot only because they assured him. The two actresses got into the crowd and shot for a while until people began to recognize them. Before the problem got out of hand, they would rush into the van and then leave for another place in old Delhi.

Vidya Balan promotes Airtel Kolkata Marathon

4:02 PM januram

‘Paa’ and ‘Ishqiya’ have given a new push to Vidya Balan’s career and a perfect answer to the critics who dubbed her as boring and not sexy. Talking about her new found success, Vidya said, “It feels good as I can sense a certain vindication in my father’s eyes. When I was being written about in not so polite terms, there were times when I lost heart and he would tell me ‘things will change’. ‘No one can take your performance away from you and no one can give you a performance. So if that is yours, just hold on to it and that will take you places’. These words of my family gave me strength when I was a little shaky.”

Vidya was in Kolkata this Saturday to promote Airtel Kolkata Marathon where she will be flagging off the groups for the Airtel Kolkata Marathon 2010 with Deepak Srivastava, CEO, Bharti Airtel Limited from Red Road (Opposite West Bengal Basket Ball Courts) starting 7 am onwards today on Sunday. Bangla Band will perform at the venue, while Tollywood celebrities Rituparna Sengupta, Locket Chatterjee, Arindam Sil and Sabyasachi Chakraborty will add to the glitz.

Vidya’s next promising venture will be ‘No One Killed Jessica’ about which she says, “I could do a mad comedy as long as my role is substantial. But don’t make it floozy. A lot of women’s roles in Hindi cinema are very apologetic, but I am glad to be representing the changing face of Indian women since I have always portrayed strong female characters.”

All we can say is ‘All the Best, Girl!!”

Vidya Balan next with Rani

2:57 PM januram

Earlier we had that the ace filmmaker had roped in our light-eyed beauty, Rani Mukherji, in a screen adaptation of Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children. Now the latest update about the film is that Deepa Mehta has included our charming lady, Vidya Balan in the script.

vidya balan,rani

The lady director wants Vidya to feature as Rani’s sister in the film. Vidya is said to be quite elated to bag the offer, especially to work with the director.

However, going by grapevines’ stories, the two beauties, Rani and Vidya, seem to share cold vibes within each other. It all started when director Pradeep Sarkar, whose ‘Parineeta’ launched Balan to fame, chose over Mukherji in his next film ‘Laaga Chunari Mein Daag’. This incident said to have surprised Balan, which also in turn made things sour between the two actresses.

On the other hand, talking about Rani and Vidya Deepa Mehta stated, “I see them as sisters. They are both lovely. I am dying to work with them together.”

“I play a village belle,” she explains, “Yet I’m fully aware of my sexual charms and within the four walls of the bedroom, I’m unapologetic about using my guile and charm.’’

Yet again she has signed up to play Sabrina Lal, Jessica’s sister, in the movie ‘No One Killed Jessica’. “Yes, I am playing Sabrina Lal in Rajkumar Gupta’s film,” she said, “The minute I heard the role, I wanted to do it. It’s my first biographical role and a big challenge. I’ll be meeting Sabrina shortly.”

As the name suggests, the movie is based on the murder of Jessica Lal in 1999 which exposed the nepotism, inequality and corruption prevalent in Indian society.

She doesn’t even need someone to crack a joke... she laughs JLT (just like that). Sometimes she used to crack up in the middle of a shot and then Naseeruddin and I had to wait till she finished...

The girl we hear is actually following in the footsteps of Shah Rukh Khan. One minute, she isn’t getting six-pack abs, but like King Khan, she too is a night bird! In short, like an owl, Ms Balan likes to work at night and that’s the raaz of her high energy levels. Oh really? We never knew, she had any.


Anyways, we hear that she just loves shooting for night schedules. “She feels that energy levels are high during the night rather than in the day. During the day the heat saps her making her energy levels go down.


She likes shooting in the nights,” says her friend and adds “Vidya is at her chirpiest in the night,” Wokay, Wokay, point taken. But someone needs to tell Ms Balan that a pretty girl like her should get her beauty sleep at night and not waste her energy khaali phokat.
