The film stars Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi and Vidya Balan. It was shot extensively in Wai near Pune.

Arshad Warsi plays Naseeruddin’s nephew. Both of them are criminals who intend to retire. On of their travels, they meet a femme fatale widow, played by Vidya Balan. She tricks both of them into falling in love with her. When the duo realizes that she is two-timing them, they want to kill her but they cannot.

Vidya and Arshad share a one-minute long lip-lock scene. The actress had to be convinced to do the scenes as she was a little hesitant.

Like all other Vishal Bhardwaj films, the dialogues (penned by him) are uncompromising, authentic and tongue-in-cheek. Arshad asks Naseeruddin, “Aapka ishq, ishq aur mera ishq sex?”

In another scene, Arshad asks Vidya, “Mein kaisa lag raha hu?” to which she replies, “C***-ium sulphate!”

The film is directed by Abhishek Chaubey, Vishal’s assistant director and co-writer on films like Maqbool, Omkara, Kaminey and The Blue Umbrella.

The guitar track in the promo is impressive and Ishqiya promises to be another stellar soundtrack by Gulzar has penned the lyrics.

Arshad Warsi had told StarBoxOffice in an earlier conversation, “Vidya Balan plays a very bitchy role in Ishqiya. She makes both Naseer Sir and I fall in love with her. It is a very different, dark film and I feel fortunate to share screen space with Naseeruddin Shah.”

Ishqiya, one of the most anticipated films this year hits theatres in December this year.

She stepped in as a girl-next-door in a family comedy serial ‘Hum Paanch’. Then she slowly started taking the Bollywood steps. With each movie, we saw a different Vidya emerging every time on-screen. Try how much ever; she is not able to shed her homely looks and coy image. She tried her hand at glamour roles but was met with fashion goof-ups and that proved that sexy tag is not her cuppa. Now she is back in de-glam role with Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Ishqiya’.

‘Ishqiya’ is a directorial debut of Abhishek Chaubey and produced by Raman Maroo and Vishal Bharadwaj. The movie has Vidya Balan, Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah. Going by the trailers, Vidya is playing a simple village belle but has tried some ‘bold’ scenes in the movie. She is featured to be doing steamy scenes with Arshad Warsi and also rumoured to play darker shades in this one.

Now this is something scorchy for Vidya fans! She had surprised us before with a hot lip-lock scene in ‘Guru’ with Madhavan. Now here, a kissy scene with Arshad is really an unexpected one!

Rumours are rippling through the hills of Mumbai suggesting that Yash Chopra himself has approached Vidya Balan to star opposite Aamir Khan in a love story that will hit the floors early next year aimed for a heavily-promoted Diwali release. It’s a sign of Vidya’s growing stature in the industry that she seems able to be walk effortlessly from a Bachchan project – Pa – into such a prominent project.

Meanwhile, Vidya has dropped her stylist Manish Malhotra for Sabayachi, the one the cast used for Pa. “Sabya has styled my look in Pa,” she explains, “It’s a very organic look. But organic or ayurvedic, I am all for it.”

With the shooting for Pa behind her, Vidya is now working with Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi on Ishqiya- a love triangle with a difference as Arshad plays Naseer’s nephew in the movie. For the first time on screen, Naseer has dyed his hair to fit the part. “That’s right,” he confirms, “I’m supposed to be this 40-year-old rake doing naughty things, like wooing the neighbourhood widow Vidya Balan. Giving me competition in the endeavour is my screen nephew Arshad Warsi. So my character has to really pull up his socks to vie for the lady’s attentions.”

So far, he has refused to colour his hair even for a film. But now Naseeruddin Shah has not only dyed his hair, he has also shaved his beard and lost a lot of weight to look like an eligible 40-year-old for Vidya Balan in Ishqiya. The veteran actor says he is having the time of his life shooting the movie.

“That’s right. I’m supposed to be this 40-year-old rake doing naughty things, like wooing the neighbourhood widow, played by Vidya. Giving me competition is my screen bhanja Arshad Warsi. So my character has to really pull up his socks to vie for the lady’s attention,” laughs Naseer. “I’ve never believed in such vanity in real life. But my character definitely does have to be an eligible 40-year-old,” he adds.

When Anurag Kashyap’s Paro took her mattress out for some rough and tumble in the fields, women in the audience applauded her guts, and
men cheered her spirit. Theaters also erupted with seetis when the very same Paro rejected Dev in the last few reels of the film. In the upcoming Kaminey, Priyanka and Shahid share a lip lock that carries on and on. In Love Aaj Kal, Saif and Deepika supposedly make love before they fall in love. And in Ishquiyan, Vidya Balan sleeps with an uncle (Naseeruddin Shah) and a nephew (Arshad Warsi).

Move over candy floss romances, lusty dramas and true-to-life characters are the flavour of the season. And A-list heroines are not shying away from doing `bold’ roles if the script demands it. Even the Censor Board doesn’t want to play spoilt sport. “Love is getting more physical in Hindi films,” says Vinayak Azad, regional officer of the Central Board of Film Certification. “It’s not about flowers meeting or feet entwining anymore. It is more explicit and direct. Also, bold scenes are not restricted to B-grade actresses anymore,” he adds.

Director Mahesh Bhatt has showcased female sexuality in many films. “I was accused of introducing soft porn into Bollywood when I made films like Jism and Murder. The purists were up in arms screaming from the rooftops saying that Indian cinema had was geting eroticised. Today, the writing is on the wall -our films are getting bolder because the moral references of the nation has changed drastically. Azad agrees. “The censor board is an evolving body and needs to keep abreast with the pulse of the public. We are definitely getting lenient with filmmakers.

Director Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal deals with love in two eras. Ali agrees that love has undergone a metamorphosis today and has become more blatant. “In Rang De Basant, when Soha’s character proposes to Madhavan, it was beautiful. In my film, the lead characters in my film hang out together for six months, get physical and don’t even realise they are a couple till somebody points it out.”

Vidya Balan, who has a raunchy love scene with Arshad Warsi in an upcoming film, feels the women of today are no longer apologetic about their sexuality. “Women in films are are a reflection of women in real life. They know what they want and I’m glad Indian cinema has begun to offer women varied roles.” Imtiaz Ali also believes today’ actresses are willing to experiment with roles on screen. “Unlike a Madhubala or Nargis, who were concerned if their knees were visible, today’s actress doesn’t think twice before doing a hot scene if the script demands it.”

Here is another actress who has earned herself a nickname behind the scenes. Vidya Balan amused everyone on the sets of Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Ishqiya’. The charismatic actress couldn’t seem to have control over her tickling bone and she went on laughing uncontrollably during the shoots.

It is said that even a small thing would instantly send her into peals of laughter. Making the use of the situation, Arshad Warsi, the hero of the movie, started calling her ‘Giggles’. He revealed, “Vidya laughs a lot and can’t control herself. She just goes on laughing like crazy. She doesn’t even need someone to crack a joke… she laughs just like that. Sometimes she used to crack up in the middle of a shot and then Naseerudin and I had to wait till she finished… Man, that’s some talent she has! So we call her Giggles.”

Heyy Babyy, control yaar!

Yeah, you read that right! We didn’t say break dance, or ball dance, or anything like that.

Soon you will witness a never-seen-before bed dance performed by Arshad Warsi and Vidya Balan . It all happened on the sets of Ishqiya, and here’s the story. Apparently, Arshad and Vids have a love-making scene in the movie, and our sources revealed that the actors weren’t uncomfy doing the scenes, but strangely, they were embarrassed while doing the bed dance. Post the intimate scene, the pair had to break into an impromptu dance on the bed, and while you’d think it could be so erotic, it’s far from that.

They had to pretend they were playing a guitar, and dance like teenagers at a rock show… all on the bed. With Vids simply wearing a petticoat and a loose shirt. Even the rock band AC/DC (whose dress code — shorts, shirt and a loosely strung tie — made a fashion statement) will probably suffer a complex on seeing this. Those who’ve seen the rushes of the movie claim that it’s a natural and funny. We’ve no doubt that the jodi was good in bed. The dance, we mean. What were you thinking, huh?

After Aishwarya’s giggles at various events and film sets became talk of the town, it’s Vidya Balan who is in news for the same reason these days.

Vidya has reportedly been conferred by a new nickname ‘Giggles’. While shooting for for Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Ishqiya’, Vidya apparently laughed so much on the sets that her co-star Arshad Warsi started calling her ‘Giggles’.

Confirming the news, Arshad said, “There’s a story behind this. Vidya laughs a lot and can’t control herself. She just goes on laughing like crazy. She doesn’t even need someone to crack a joke… she laughs JLT (just like that). Sometimes she used to crack up in the middle of a shot and then Naseeruddin and I had to wait till she finished… Man, that’s some talent she has! So we call her Giggles.”

She might have begun her career as the dove eyed down-to-earth actress. But, it seems Vidya has realized that Bollywood has little to offer to a heroine who doesn’t become part of the public fantasy. Now, in order to charm her audiences, Vidya is desperately looking for an image change. Unlike before, the actress now has no qualms enacting steamy scenes and recently she did a kissing scene with Arshad Warsi for the upcoming film ISHQIYA and termed the experience as fantastic.

After GURU in which Vidya had a kissing scene with R. Madhavan, the new act with Arshad Warsi just proves the point that the actress has made her mind to become the next serial kisser in town.
