Vidya in a pregnant role
A scene from ‘Kahaani’ |
Though her ‘The Dirty Picture’ is unabashed skinfest, Vidya’s next
film ‘Kahaani’ is about a pregnant woman on the lookout for her husband
who’s gone missing.
Balan may be the most easily approachable person thanks to her
amiable nature however it takes lot to convince the arguably numero uno
actress of Bollywood when it comes to signing her for a film.
In fact even Sujoy Ghosh had to match up to Vidya's expectations to
sign her for the film. Sujoy had to even redraft the script until Vidya
said yes to the film.
The first look of the film ‘Kahaani’ was recently released and it has
come at the right time because Vidya is riding high on buzz with her
dare-bare Silk Smitha portrayal in ‘The Dirty Picture’, and her fan base
has swelled like never before.
In the first look of ‘Kahaani’, Vidya is shown pregnant in the
backdrop of Kolkata’s Howrah Bridge. The first look also beautifully
shows the frenzy of Durga Puja in the city. Apparently, the posters of
the film look quite eye-catching with Vidya looking bemused in huge
baby-bump.
Produced by Ghosh, Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Pen India Private
Limited, ‘Kahaani’ has been extensively shot in Kolkata, which
incidentally is Vidya’s favourite city.
It may be interesting to watch Vidya in a completely different and
unglamorous avatar after the Milan Luthria film releases.
The movie has music by renowned duo Vishal-Shekhar and it is
cinematographer by Setu. It will be subtitled in English and unsppoling
at Majestic Cineplex from March 9. ‘Kahaani’ is a CEL release and
presented by Event Concept. |
