VIDYA BALAN is one of the most talked about names in Bollywood today. In conversation with Vickey Lalwani, she outlines her forthcoming films and more...
How has 'Parineeta' changed your life?
Dada (Pradeep Sarkar) was very sure he wanted only me for the role. His confidence and faith in me really boosted my energy levels. It helps when someone stands and backs you. I had done nearly 80 ads by the time I came to an acting career, still one needs inspiration from the right quarters. He was sure no one else could play Lolita. I think people who debut at an early age have had to wait a few years to get that kind of a role. In that way, I am lucky. Touch wood.
So, you came into 'Parineeta' without auditions?
No. Dada is a thorough professional. I had to undergo several auditions before I was finalized. That did my ego a lot of good.
You are doing the sequel to 'Munnabhai MBBS'?
It's not a sequel per se. I play Sanjay Dutt's love interest in 'Munnabhai Meets Mahatma'. The characters Munna and Circuit are there in this movie also, but it is not a sequel to 'Munnabhai MBBS'. One of the great things about the film is that everyone sees it as a fresh film, including Rajkumar Hirani. It may be titled 'Munnabhai Meets Mahatma' or 'Munnabhai Lage Raho'. |
