Director Prem is all geared up for Jogayya, the sequel of his superhit film Jogi which starred Shivrajkumar and Jennifer Kotwal. Prem is keen to bring in Priyanka Chopra and Vidya Balan in Jogayya. He wants Priyanka for a song and is reportedly speaking to her manager for dates. And he wants Vidya as the heroine as he feels she would be perfect for the part.

So is there no place for Jennifer in the sequel? As of now it seems like there isn’t.

In her most recent outing in front of the Indian public, Vidya takes a slight risk that works rather well for her. The bright colours and old fashioned hair (wig, right?) is quite fetching on the student. The examiners appreciate her minimal jewellery and the courage it must take her to steer clear of the net and velvet creations that are such a rage these days. They would like to take this opportunity to give a nod of approval to the student and move on to her assignment.

Actor Vidya Balan has been repeatedly accused of being a style offender, but that hasn’t stopped her from doing it her way.

At the Star Screen Awards, the actress was again a fish out of water. She chose to wear a classic Kanjeevaram sari, with a traditional threequarter sleeve blouse and vintage style earrings, while others wore the sari in the modern “cocktail” form.

While the evening saw other actresses such as Aishwarya Rai, Gul Panag and Celina Jaitley opting for saris in contemporary fabrics to get a snug fit, Vidya dared to wear a heavy silk considered bulky.
