After wooing the audience with her bold and sensuous act in “The
Dirty Picture”, actress Vidya Balan returns with another intense role of
a pregnant woman in her forthcoming film “Kahaani”, which releases
Friday.
Produced and directed by Sujoy Ghosh, this will be Vidya’s fourth
woman-centric film after “Ishqiya”, “No One Killed Jessica” and “The
Dirty Picture”. The film also features Bengali actor Parambrata
Chattopadhayay and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in prominent roles.
“Kahaani” tells the story of seven-month-pregnant Vidya Bagchi, who
flies down to Kolkata in search of her missing husband, all alone in the
festive city.
With nothing to rely on than just a fragment from her memories about
him, Vidya begins her relentless search for her husband Arnab Bagchi.
However, all clues seem to be in vain when everyone tries to convice her
that her husband does not exist.
Soon she realises that things are not as they seem. She is determined
to unravel the truth about her husband – for herself and her unborn
child – even if it puts her life in danger.
The actress made director Ghosh wait for a long time before signing
up for the film. Vidya didn’t like script at the first reading, but the
director kept altering it until she finally agreed to be a part of it.
Vidya nows considers herself lucky to be a part of the film.
She has been aggressively promoting the movie – dressed like her character along with a baby bump.
While some actress may find it hard to sport a fake baby bump, Vidya admits she didn’t have to struggle too much with it.
“It was not tough at all. During our college life, we all friends
used to do all the nautankis and these stand-up items. And my favourite
role would always be of a pregnant woman. So the walk and all came to me
very naturally,” said Vidya.
Music composers Vishal-Shekhar, who are known for creating new-age,
peppy music, have gone intense in their compositions for “Kahaani”. The
duo have even made megastar Amitabh Bachchan sing Rabindra sangeet “Ekla
cholo re” for it.
The 69-year-old is all praise for the duo.
“This particular, world famous number ‘Ekla Cholo’, expounding to all
that if no one came to you on your calling, walk alone!! And what a
fabulous song has been incorporated by Vishal-Shekhar. Truly awesome and
worthy of all award,” said Amitabh.
Vidya has become one of the most bankable actresses ever since the
success of films like “Ishqiya”, “No One Killed Jessica” and most
recently “The Dirty Picture”.
With the film’s trailers making waves, Vidya is likely to continue her winning streak with “Kahaani”.
