Enough of Boy Toys for Vidya Balan

November 5th, 2008

Vidya Balan might look really odd with young heroes like Shahid Kapur but she continues to bag biggie films with a period feel or where the heroine is supposed to look Indian. And yeah, what she’s best suited to – matured heroes!

She’s starring with Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s ‘Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya Woh Jamiya Nahin.’

Thankfully she’ll be playing Sanjay Dutt’s wife in the film and isn’t the romantic interest of youngster Neil Nitin Mukesh who’s the third lead!

Portrait of Lahore

November 2nd, 2008

Sanjay Dutt-Salman Khan starrer Raj Kumar Santoshi’s adaptation of Asghar Wajahat’s play Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya Woh Jamiya Nahin won’t be shot in Lahore, as originally planned. Now Santoshi will recreate Lahore in Hyderabad.

Santoshi confirmed and said, “Shooting in Lahore seems impractical. Primarily because we may not get the architecture of the partition times any more. So Nitish Roy is building Lahore in Hyderabad for us. Every lane, bylane, the transportation, the electric wires will be recreated. Our set will look more like Lahore than Lahore itself.”
