It may be a 'dirty' outing that Vidya Balan is currently enjoying. However it may just be a momentary phase in her career as the actress in her is all set to give audience something that they truly associate with the actress. Her 'Kahaani' is the next to arrive and those who have had a dekko at it claim that Vidya has come up with her most stunning act till date.

"Yeah, it's her 'The Dirty Picture' which has hogged all the limelight for last few months. However the film which would really bring out the kind of intensity that Vidya is famous for is 'Kahaani'," says a source, "A few industry insiders who have seen portions of the film claim that this is her most bravura performance till date. Though sex and erotica are the selling points of her newest release, for those who were wondering where had Vidya of 'Parineeta' and 'Paa' gone, the answer would in the form of 'Kahaani'."

In the film, Vidya plays the role of a pregnant woman searching for her husband. A dramatic thriller, it is also a new genre being explored by the 'Jhankaar Beats' director Sujoy Ghosh.

Says a trade source, "Once the euphoria around 'The Dirty Picture' settles down, Vidya would begin talking about 'Kahaani' which shows her in an altogether different light. In fact bets are already out that not just is it an award worthy performance, it is also a strong contender for National Awards."

Well, we would want to hear more about that but as of now we are happy with all the 'entertainment' that Vidya is bringing on in an 'ooh laa la' fashion.
