When it involves a decision for an actress in a sensuous, strong and challenging role, the only to be zeroed in finally is undoubtedly Vidya Balan. The actress who rocked the nation along with her strong and dirty performance in ‘The Dirty Picture’ and who looks promising again within the forthcoming ‘Kahaani’ has bagged in yet one more prestigious project to be made under Sudhir Mishra’s expertise.
Apparently, Vidya was chosen to play the lead role of Mehrunissa in his film driving other contestants like Katrina Kaif out of the race. The film may be made by DAR Films and Vidya will start the shoot towards the tip of the year when she completes her shoot for Rajkumar Gupta’s Ghanchakkar. Since Sudhir and producer Nikhil Advani are very keen to have Vidya on board to play Mehrunissa, they're willing to attend it out.
Vidya could be playing Mehrunissa in two different time zones, on the age of 20 and again on the age of 62. Vidya will share screen space with Big B and Rishi Kapoor and because senior Bachchan has frequently compared Vidya to Waheeda Rehman, her older role could be in accordance with Waheedaji herself. Vidya will apparently be using some clever makeup and prosthetics to appear convincing opposite Big B and Rishi Kapoor.
