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.

Vidya Balan: Dirty Picture's love-making scenes won't be meant to ‘titillate’

Vidya Balan: Dirty Picture's love-making scenes won't be meant to ‘titillate’: She is one versatile actress who can fit into any role. She efficiently played a mother in Paa and a crafty village seductress in Ishqiya. Now, Vidya Balan is all set to stun the audience with her sexy avatar in the movie Dirty Picture, where she plays the south bombshell Silk Smitha.

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

Dirty Picture first look: Vidya Balan romance with Naseeruddin Shah: Vidya Balan is getting bolder by the day. After recently posing topless for a popular calendar, the actress is now set to get cosy 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 plays Silk Smitha in her next 'Dirty Picture'?

Vidya Balan to plays Silk Smitha in her next 'Dirty Picture'?: Vidya Balan is turning out to be a woman of contradictions. The prim and propah nari clad in a sari can dare to bare too, proves Vidya quite aptly with her next film Dirty Picture in which she plays Silk Smitha, the sex bomb from south.

South siren Silk Smitha was known for her unabashed display of sexuality on screen in the 1980s. She worked in over 200 south Indian films and her life ended mysteriously when she was found dead in her Chennai apartment in 1996. She was just 35 years old.

Director Milan Luthria, riding high on the success of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, is directing a film titled Dirty Picture on Silk Smitha and has roped in Vidya Balan for the lead role.

“I loved the script and was almost shocked that they (Milan and producers Balaji) thought of me. I was shocked and thrilled because she is so unlike me. Silk Smitha's sexuality is on your face. It is almost offensive,” Balan is quoted as saying by a news agency.

The film’s title Dirty Picture is likely to raise a few brows but Vidya thinks it’s apt.

“I think Dirty Picture is an apt title for the movie. It is reflective of our perception of her. We feel that she could not have made a pretty picture,” Balan added.

From the sombre and brooding Sabrina of No One Killed Jessica to the sexy and bawdy Silk Smitha of Dirty Picture, it would be quite a leap for Vidya. Not for nothing is she lapping up the Best Actress trophies at award functions.

“I have a crush on Shahrukh Khan since forever. So, I would love to romance him on screen. Shahrukh is an eternal romantic and you can’t get better than that,” she proclaimed.

Well, let’s hope Shahrukh hears this and fulfill Vidya’s dream soon!
