Superstar Rajinikanth, who was awestruck by his good friend Amitabh Bachchan’s performance in ‘Paa’, was equally awestruck by another person when he watched the film at a special screening recently.

The person we are talking about is Vidya Balan, the heroine of the movie. She reminded the top actor of Tamil cinema his daughters. “Vidya Balan very much resembles my daughters Aishwarya and Soundarya,” the Superstar reportedly told circles close to him. A south Indian girl, Vidya Balan was initially about to start her acting career with a Tamil film. She was however replaced by another actress. But fate had bigger plans for her and she is now a celebrated heroine in Bollywood.

One more interesting thing about Vidya is- She is a relative of Priyamani. But both had not met each other so far however.
