Rajinikanth romancing with Rekha, Vidya and Deepika!
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?
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!
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!
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.

Vidya Balan: Dirty Picture's love-making scenes won't be meant to ‘titillate’
Based on Silk Smitha’s life, the movie will show her many lovers. Naseeruddin Shah plays the man who actually wins her over. It’s heard that Vidya will have two steamy scenes with the actor. The actress though ready to shun her inhibition wants the scenes to be shot ‘aesthetically’.
We hear the scenes won’t be meant to titillate. Beneath the layer of physical intimacy, there would be romance.
Vidya has never shied away from bold scenes. In fact, right from her first film Parineeta to Ishqiya, she has had intimate scenes with her co-stars.
She is one bindaas actress!

Dirty Picture first look: Vidya Balan romance with Naseeruddin Shah
Ekta Kapoor’s production Dirty Picture might turn out to be a watershed moment in Vidya’s filmography. She plays the popular south sex bomb Silk Smitha in the film. Not only will Vidya will exude dollops of oomph in the film, she will also get intimate with actor Naseeruddin Shah.
We hear that Naseer plays a film producer who gets into a steamy and sexual relationship with Silk Smitha.
This would be Vidya and Naseer’s second outing together after Ishqiya that had the latter playing a clunky old criminal who has a crush on Vidya.
Dirty Picture is directed by Milan Luthria.

Vidya Balan to pair opposite Rajinikanth

Vidya’s Cousin makes her Bollywood Entry
Another southern actress is gearing up to make her presence felt in Bollywood. And as far as reviews go, she is already well on her way.
This is none other than Vidya Balan’s cousin Priya Mani. The actress recently was cast in a small but important role in Mani Ratnam’s much hyped “Raavan”.
And she has caught the attention of Bollywood with her small role, in which she describes her gang rape by cops. Her powerful acting has already raised eyebrows.
And generated attention towards her. While the leads of the film are cribbing about the editing in the movie, this newcomer is very satisfied with her role.
“My role couldn’t be cut. Mani Sir told me it brought colour and vibrancy into the story,” said she. Well, evidently, she made quite an impression in that small role and Ram Gopal Verma has already cast her in his next film “Rakta Charitra”.
Priya, though is not a newcomer in the field of cinema. The actress, who has been acting from the age of 18, has done many roles in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. In 2006, she even won the national award for her performance in a southern film. But the actress was not eager to continue doing serious roles. “I quickly gravitated towards conventional glamorous roles because I no longer had to prove myself as an actress,” she said.
When asked, if she is banking on her cousin Vidya to help her out in this unknown B’Town, she was quick to reply, “No, I’m not really in touch with Vidya. I’m more in touch with her father. Whenever I visit Mumbai, I make it point to meet him. But I don’t expect them to help me in Bollywood at all…”

Vidya goes traditional once again
Check out this pretty lady. Vidya chose this lovely pink & black sari for the HT Cafe Relaunch Party.
Loved the pink cotton sari with the embroidered blouse on her. But Vidya, we wouldn’t mind you experimenting with it as well. Try different fabrics, prints, blouse styles. Her hair, make up and minimal jewelery makes her even more prettier.
Karan was on the panel discussion. Fail to believe, Karan who is so good with his clothes, got this so wrong for himself
Managed to get a pic with a close up of her shoes. Naaaaaa…… not very impressive.
I will give her a 8 on 10 rating.
What do you think???
