Vishal Bharadwaj is very strict about his characters in his films.

The talented director-producer sees to it that the actor actually learns the skills and not fake it on his films. If Vishal made Saif Ali Khan learn the UP dialect in Omkara , the director has made Vidya Balan take driving lessons for Ishqiya.

We hear Vidya was a complete phobic when it came to driving. She has acute road phobia and was petrified at the thought of driving.

The very thought of driving a car would send shivers down her spine. But, not anymore! And, she has only one person to thank that and he is Vishal Bharadwaj. Driving a car was something that is completely alien to her. But, Vishal saw to it that she mastered the art.
