Just the other day I saw Vidya Balan launching this book by Chetan Bhagat, who has become a part of Bollywood only, if you ask me. Vidya was all smiles talking to Bhagat all the time. Made me wonder whether Balan girlie wants to be the next Bhagat heroine. Well, you know how all Chetan’s books are being converted to films these days. Nice move Vidya! And by the way, nice dress… or should we say, nice decision of sticking to Indian wear! Take a look.

Is she really to be blamed?

vidyajune25_full“Lage Raho Munnabhai” director Rajkumar Hirani is currently shooting his film “Three Idiots” with Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor. The movie is based on Chetan Bhagat’s book “Five Point Someone”.

Apparently, Vidya Balan is miffed with Hirani for not casting her in the lead role in the film.

It seems it was Vidya who introduced Hirani to Bhagat’s novel. Hirani decided to make a movie based on the book, but took Kareena in the lead instead of Vidya.
He did offer Vidya a cameo role in the movie, but Vidya was in no mood to play the second lead. This caused a rift between the director and the actress.

Now Hirani is even more upset that Vidya has leaked the details of the role to the media.

But considering how popular the book “Five Point Someone” has been, wouldn’t many people already have an idea what the role could be?
