she won the hearts of whom who’s are fans of Sanjay Dutt.

Vidya Balan is shooting with Arshad Warsi in Wai. Being with Arshad comes as a relief for Vidya. “Vidya is happy that this time the media will not be able to link her with her costar. Arshad is a friend! Also he is married with two kids. So she is glad that she will be spared link ups this time,” a source said. Vidya was earlier linked with Shahid Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham. That’s practically every other co star she has worked with. No wonder, Vidya is fed up!

Apparently Harman Baweja is keen on doing a full-on action film.

Looks like after the ‘Love Story 2050′ debacle this guy is getting desperate to prove himself!

So much so that he says he’s become extra choosy. He calls this year and ‘Love Story 2050′ a big learning experience.  Copying Hrithik Roshan a lot didn’t really help his case much anyway.

He’s said, “I’m back in Mumbai after a very long time. I’ve been shooting for my two films ‘It’s My Life’ and ‘Victory’ in various parts of the world. I’ve learnt to loosen up. I don’t feel that tension of having to deliver my first film. Now I’m far more relaxed. I’ve almost completed two films.”

Vidya Balan is presently taking tuitions in a particular UP dialect for her upcoming film, ISHKIYAAN, which is being produced by Vishal Bharadwaj and directed by his assistant director Abhishek Chaubey.

Vishal and Abhishek who have written the script of ISHKIYAAN has the same dialect that one saw (heard) in Vishal’s OMKARA (2006). When the script was narrated to Vidya first, she expressed her inability to deliver the lines fluently in that chaste UP dialect. Apparently the actress’ mother tongue is South Indian and though she speaks Hindi well, she is not so comfortable speaking the rural UP lingo. Vishal and Vidya then mutually agreed upon having a special tutor for her to learn the dialect and get well–versed with the perfect tone of delivering it.

Since Vidya Balan’s style file became a subject of national debate after Heyy Baby and Kismet Konnection, the actor is going that extra mile to make sure the focus remains on her acting skills.

Balan has hired a tutor to teach her the nuances of the dialect spoken in Uttar Pradesh for the Vishal Bhardwaj production Ishqiya, where she plays a con woman.

Though Balan speaks Hindi well, she is not comfortable with the north Indian dialect and is being trained by an actor from the National School of Drama.
