Vidya Balan Is Hot Property
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,July 31 2006]
Her coy-yet-honest Lolita act in ÂParineeta has earned her lots of admirers. Obviously awards followed. And now even the author backed roles are flowing her way. When you sneak a first look at the stills and promos of ÂLage Raho Munnabhai her refreshing charm is like a breath-of-morning-breeze. From what is touted as a total departure from the sixties look of her debut flick, Balan looks cool-n-comfortable in TodayÂs ambience (Especially the clothes). It is rumoured that she got Ârather close with co-star Sanjay Dutt while shooting for ÂLage Raho . and that they are having a ÂSceneÂ.
Never mind the rumours, but talking about her film career then she has become the darling of Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions. She is playing the lead opposite Saif Ali Khan in ChopraÂs directorial venture ÂEklavya which also has Amitabh Bachchan in a pivotal role.
It is being said that she is also being considered for Shaji KarunÂs film on painter Raja Ravi Verma (where she will play the legendary painterÂs muse), a role for which Madhuri Dixit was approached earlier. Now, another piece of news doing the rounds is that she has been finalized for the Hindi Remake of South superhit ÂChandramukhiÂ, a role for which Aishwarya Rai had been approached by five different film makers. ÂChandramukhi is now being directed by Priyadarshan and also stars Akshay Kumar.
