The mature Heroine – Vidya Balan
December 10th, 2008Matured actress Vidya Balan might look really odd with young heroes like Shahid Kapur,Imran Khan etc 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 mature bollywood actors like Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s upcoming movie ‘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!

The movie will be shot in India, director Santoshi explains the reason behind this is that shooting in Lahore is impractical as the crew mightn’t get the architecture of the partition times there any more.
So, to overcome this problem art designer, Nitish Roy is building Lahore in Hyderabad now. Every lane, by-line, the transportation; the electric wires will be recreated. Extensive research work is done on Lahore during the Partition era so that every detail is virtualized.

Santoshi takes it as a challenge as it is his second pre-Independence film after ‘The Legend of Bhagat Singh where he’ll combine drama and fiction into history.
With films like ‘Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya Woh Jamiya Nahin and ‘Chenab Gandhi’, Vidya’s days are still there in Bollywood and it can’t be numbered!
