Vidya Balan's unique readiness to play the curvaceous Silk Smitha

Vidya Balan's unique readiness to play the curvaceous Silk Smitha: Vidya Balan has a mountain to ascension. Her function in director Milan Luthria's film Dirty Picture gives her the boldest makeover she would be able to picture.

The disastrous existence of Silk Smitha, the attractive siren of South who built a name for herself through boorish roles in the 80s and 90s, can be reproduced in Ekta Kapoor's processing Dirty Picture. Vidya Balan, marked on to play the siren, is supposed to wear ensembles like easy-neck slipovers, translucent tube tops, underskirts, smoking gasps, et al.

Not simply this, Vidya needs to put on weight to search plump and curvier for the last part of her part. She can be needed to exposed her mid-riff, thighs and cleavage.

Unmistakably the interest of skin demonstrate and outward showcase of sexuality has frightened Vidya. We catch that she has asked her ensemble fashioner Niharika Khan to give her the outfits a month in development with the goal that she would be able to move toward getting used to them.

Director Milan Luthria was not astonished by Vidya's request. He states absolutely decidedly that Vidya ought to get a part bolder in communicating her sexuality in the function.

Good fortunes, Vids.

Rajinikanth romancing with Rekha, Vidya and Deepika!

Rajinikanth romancing with Rekha, Vidya and Deepika!: If Endhiran left us with dropped jaws because of its Rajini mania, Rana promises a thrice over treat for Rajinikanth’s fans.

The film will have the south mega star playing three roles and obviously there will be three leading ladies opposite him. From the day the project was announced, speculation has been rife as to who will bag the coveted parts.

Rekha was the first to be named. Deepika Padukone was too busy to commit to the project initially, but walked out of Housefull sequel to take out dates for Rajinikanth. For the third lady, several names were being touted, including the likes of Katrina Kaif and Asin.

But guess what? It’s Vidya Balan who’s learnt to have clinched the role.

The reason for the choice of actresses could be that all three are originally from the south and therefore will have no problem with dialogues.

The movie, to be directed by KS Ravi Kumar, will apparently have Rajini playing an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man.

Even at 61, Rajini rocks.

Vidya Balan to plane for an engagement with Siddharth Roy Kapoor?

Vidya Balan to plane for an engagement with Siddharth Roy Kapoor?: Vidya Balan and her rumoured boyfriend Siddharth Roy Kapur are said to be thinking of getting engaged.

The actress has been spotted with the head honcho of UTV Motion Pictures on more occasion than one, thereby sparking the rumours that something is indeed brewing between them. The latest was their outing together on the sandy beaches of Goa. The duo was clicked in casual beach wear while holidaying together.

Apparently, Sid and Vid have been friends for some time since he stays in her neighbourhood.

But the couple are wary of being linked together because Siddharth’s divorce from his wife is yet to come through. Naturally, they are likely to play down the reports of their engagement.

Vidya’s spokesperson says just because Vidya is friendly with someone doesn’t mean she will get engaged to him.

We, however, will wait to see how this ‘love story’ unfolds.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai sequel: Kareena or Vidya as Mandakini!

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai sequel: Kareena or Vidya as Mandakini!: As Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai sequel will roll soon, the hunt for the leading lady of the film, which stars Akshay Kumar in lead, is on. Top contenders likely to bag the role are Kareena Kapoor and Vidya Balan!

The sequel will show Akshay as a matured Dawood, the role essayed by Emraan Hashmi in the first part. As Dawood was allegedly linked with Mandakini, the makers are having trouble in finding the right actress to play her part in the film opposite Akki. It’s reported that Mandakini’s character needs a strong actress who can emote well on celluloid.

Now the speculations are rife that either Kareena or Vidya can be approached for the role. As per sources, Ekta Kapoor, the head of Balaji Motion Pictures, wants a top actress to play the lead. The production house is already working with Vidya in Dirty Picture and Kareena is quite close to Ekta and her brother Tusshar Kapoor.

We would say, let the best lady win.

Vidya Balan's no for strip for Hussain painting?

Vidya Balan's no for strip for Hussain painting?: Vidya Balan has lately been in the headlines for allegedly her dare-to-bare-all decision for a nude painting by M F Hussain, whose latest muse she seems to have become.

However, the news has turned out to be incorrect as a source close to Vidya has strongly dismissed the report as a “fabricated” by people with vested interests.

Balan, who shot a topless pic for Dabboo Ratnani’s calendar without baring anything to the camera, has shocked many with her bold makeover recently. She is also doing Ekta Kapoor’s Dirty Picture in which she plays the south sex bomb Silk Smitha.

The role has Vidya exuding a lot of oomph without, again, baring anything on camera.

Thus far, no further. It seems Vidya has set limits to the skin-show.

No smoking please, says 'pregnant' Vidya Balan!

No smoking please, says 'pregnant' Vidya Balan!: Vidya Balan gets into the skin of the character. Demands a smoking ban on the set because she's playing a pregnant woman

Vidya Balan is playing a six-month pregnant woman in Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani. To get into the skin of the character, she has called for a No Smoking ban on the set.

While the smokers on the set might resent her call for the ban, the director is maha pleased with her dedication.

Sujoy says, "She's really into the character. So much so that after a while she started freaking us out.

She started behaving like an expectant mother and wouldn't let anyone smoke in front of her.. and we were like.. huh? Pregnant!? Who? So I think for Balan once she is mentally there, physical bits are baaye haath ka khel."

The director might want to lookout for more clues of obsessing with the character. It might get really scary if she started eating for two, or started feeling morning sickness.
