Actress Vidya Balan is eagerly waiting to do a romantic film with a good script, and she is open to working with any actor in it.
"I love romance. I am just waiting that someone approaches me for a romantic, good relationship story, but nothing exciting has come my way so far. But I am open to any kind of film, I will be happy to do it. I am happy to romance with anyone as long as its a good romance," she says.
Meanwhile, her real life romance with producer Siddharth Roy Kapur is rocking. It was reported she would marry him by 2012-end, but the actress said: "I also heard. I will say this, that one is not denying. I definitely want to be married someday, but so far, I don't know when. When I get married, all of you and the world will know for sure. This is something I would want to share with everyone."
On the big screen, Vidya will soon be seen in comic thriller "Ghanchakkar" opposite Emraan Hashmi and "Kahaani 2".
Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh says audiences
will get to see a "new" Vidya Balan in "Kahaani 2" as the actress will
perform some action scenes in the thriller.
"As per the demand of the role, there
will be a lot of action in the sequel. So hopefully, audiences will get
to see a new Vidya in 'Kahaani 2'," Ghosh said.
"Not too much, but as per the script,
Vidya will have few action scenes in the film. So as the script
demands, I had asked her to be in shape. There will be some physical
activities that Vidya will have to do in the film," he added.
"Kahaani", shot in Kolkata, came in he
beginning of 2012 and was a super hit. The film revolved around Vidya's
character, who was in search of her missing husband.
Now Ghosh is working on the script of the second instalment, which will repeat characters from the original.
"The script is not yet ready. We are in
the process of developing the script. Once the script is ready, the
film will go on the floors next year," he said.
"Few portions will be shot in Kolkata and many of the characters will be repeated," he added.
If you thought that just the human species was ooh la la-ing to Vidya Balan in The Dirty Picture, the equestrian species is about to join the bandwagon of fans too.
For the first time, an entire racing event will be named after a film and The Dirty Picture is the first to earn that distinction. The makers are leaving no stone un-turned to promote the most keenly awaited film of the season.On Sunday 20th November, the Mahalaxmi Race Course will witness a huge dash of glamour as Vidya Balan, accompanied by director Milan Luthria, will attend the la-di-dah event to promote her forthcoming film.
The winner of the penultimate race of the afternoon, which has been christened The Dirty Picture Race, will be felicitated jointly by director Luthria, and Balan, who will be seen in a sensational 80′s outfit, the kind she has been flaunting at the film’s recent promotional gigs.
Confirmed Vivek Jain, Chairman – RWITC Limited, “Racing is about lifestyle and associating with a good upcoming Bollywood film is part of our menu to make racing days more exciting for the racegoers. There is an increasing fit between sports and stars, and racing is no exception.”
Remarked director Luthria, “Being a horseman who’s raced horses and competed on them myself, the pounding of hooves is the only thrill remotely close to Vidya setting the pulse in The Dirty Picture. One of the stellar sequences in the film is Vidya backing a long shot and beating Naseer’s character’s favourite, akin to the racing sequence in Once Upon A Time… with Sultan and Shoaib.”

Sources say after the completion of her ongoing film ‘The Dirty Picture’, Vidya will be getting onto her other project titled ‘Kahaani’. She would be seen essaying the role of a six month pregnant woman who comes in search of her lost husband.

Vidya Balan, Tusshar Kapoor, Emran Hashmi and Naseeruddin Shah starrer The Dirty Picture has got into a legal mess. The film is based on Southern actress Silk Smitha's life. Media reports claim, her brother V Naga Vara Prasad has sent a legal notice to producer Ekta Kapoor and director Milan Luthria for not taking her family's consent for the movie.
Silk Smitha's brother has termed The Dirty Picture as an obscene film. He claims that no one from the films' team tried to contact the family before making a film on Silk Smitha. Apparently Ekta Kapoor and team have based their film on the inputs provided by Silk Smitha's alleged boyfriend in Chennai. Prasad who got to know about the film through television stays in Kovvali village of Andhra Pradesh. He is an agriculturist. Silk Smitha's brother is not aiming at any monetary gains by filing a court case. He is concerned about the content of the film and doesn't want his family and relatives to be hurt.
Sources claim that Silk Smitha committed suicide because of financial crisis. In an interviews lately, her brother hinted that this may not be the truth.
The Dirty Picture team has not replied to Prasad's legal notice yet. He plans to send another notice in a few days.
Release date of The Dirty Picture is 2 December, 2011.
