Vidya Balan prepare to be counted among the top
October 11th, 2008After having scored with her first two films, Parineeta and Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Vidya Balan has been happy playing along in films such as Guru, Salaam-E-Ishq, Eklavya and Halla Bol. Vidya now hopes to score again with Heyy Babyy.
In the film, Vidya is paired opposite Akshay Kumar, Ritiesh Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan who play amative bachelors living it up in Sydney.
She is the unwedded mother of the ‘Babyy’ and one of three is the father. To teach them a lesson Vidya secretly dumps the baby on them with a note that one of them is the father, forcing them to not just look after the baby but find her mother to determine who the father is.
Vidya Balan, after having repeatedly played the overmodest ghagra or salwar kameez clad quintessential Indian girl, this time has the boys on the run with her assertiveness and a glamorous western makeover by fashion designer Manish Malhotra.

“I love my look in the film. It’s different. The credit for the same goes to Sajid and Manish,” Vidya Balan says.
The title track of the film features fifteen Bollywood sex kittens – Dia Mirza, Amisha Patel, Koena Mitra, Shamita Shetty, Malaika Arora, Neha Dhupia, Amrita Arora, Amrita Rao, Tara Sharma, Sophie Chaudhary,Minissha Lamba, Riya Sen, Masumi Makhija, Aarti Chhabria, Hrishita Bhatt – but surprisingly not Vidya Balan.
Vidya compactly comments, “I have not featured in the song. But I attended the shoot. All of them looked stunning. I told Sajid that I better look good in the film!”
Having chosen Heyy Babyy over another biggie like Laga Chunari Me Daag (date issues), Vidya Balan is banking on Heyy Bayy’s box office appeal to substantiate her as the new ‘It’ girl.
Sajid says he’s very impressed with her histrionics and the fact that she is a complete foil to the comic antics of the three leading men, gives her a chance to reaffirm that she’s has loads of talent and charm to get her to sail the unreliable waters of what the world knows as Bollywood.
