Vidya Balan Learning UP Dialect for her Next Film “Ishkiyaan”

For the forthcoming film Ishkiyaan, Bollywood actress Vidya Balan is now learning a UP dialect. Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, the Vishal Bharadwaj production features Naseeruddin Shah alongside Arshad Warsi and Vidya Balan. The scrip is written by Vishal and Abhishek and the film features the same language that is heard in Omkara, directed by Vishal.

Khabrein reported:

A unit source informs, "Vishal and Abhishek have written the script of Ishkiyaan. The film has the same lingo that one hears in Vishal’s Omkara. When Vishal narrated the script to Vidya, she was apprehensive about her ability to deliver the dialogues fluently in this dialect. Being a South Indian, she was not very comfortable with the rural dialect. Though Vidya is fluent in Hindi, she insisted on learning the language before taking on the role."

It seems pretty good that Vidya is taking professional training before turning to camera. With her fluency in Hindi, the actress could have gone to deliver the dialogues without taking any lesion on the dialect. However, known as a perfectionist, Vidya Balan, went through the classes on that dialect to deliver the perfect diction in the movie.

The actress said that Ishkiyaan emerges with an unusual concept and she is happy to share screen space with Naseeruddin Shah in the movie. She portrays the character that fools her uncle and her nephew, portrayed by Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi respectively.

Vidya Balan is in Bangla Cinema

Vidya Balan, who made her acting debut in a Bengali film 'Bhalo Theko' with Gautam Haldar’s. Now, again she is doing another Bengali film with the director. She express her feeling about to come back in Bengali film like this- “I feel I was a Bengali in my past life, even my first Hindi film Parineeta had a Bengali cultured where I played a character named Hashi and Tanujaji was with me. She has also played many Bengali films in the past time.”

Vidya added, “Kolkata is home for me, so I thanked to the Bengali film industry that welcomed me first when I had no chance in the Hollywood film industry. I’ve always honored from the land of noted director Satyajit Ray.”

Vidya’s Bhool Bhulaiya is also a Bengali ambience. Vidya says about the film, “I worked hard for the character and thought that kids would hate me for the threatening role because, I scare them. But, I was invited later as a radio jockey in Lage Raho Munna Bhai.”

Now, Vidya has only a schedule in Bollywood in Aziz Mirza’s ‘Kismet Konnection” that is a quite different from all my previous works. Besides, Vidya played with Ajay devgan as supportive wife in Halla Bol that has released recently. She is proud for the work however it become hit or not in box office.

Vidya says, “Probably it’s the amnesic wife in Salaam-e-Ishq, and the schizophrenic wife in Bhool bhulaiyaa or the supportive wife of a philandering star in Halla Bol. I’m proud all of my acted film whatever it in box office.”

Vidya says about not to sign any big banner that I want to work with all and I’m sure it will happen in the right time. source

Vidya Balan and her forthcoming film Halla Bol

The name Vidya Balan is a popular name in Bollywood now. She introduced with Bollywood in June 10, 2005, with the film ‘Parineeta’, which was directed by Pradeep Sarkar. In 2007, she acted a few movies and got huge box-office hit.

In the second week of 2008, Vidya Balan acted film Halla Bol will be released, which is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. Rajkumar Santoshi is one of the success directors in Bollywood film industry. He has a fame of best selection according to the character. Vidya Balan has acted as Ajay Devgan’s wife Sneha. Actually, she is a helpful, friendly has a great intimate each other and has a very good understanding each other.

Vidya Balan thinks that glamorous is not always fact in the movie, best thing is selection character and preformed perfectly and that is why, she agreed to work with Santoshi Rajkumar film Halla Bol as an example she told that Lajja is one of her favorite film.

Is an interview she expressed her feelings in the same way. I am giving some example of them;

Q.: Please tell us about your look in the film?

A.: In the film I am actually from a small town and I get married to a superstar. The director of the film, Raj ji, thought of two different looks for me. One was the look of a woman from a small town and the other one is the look of the wife of superstar. But with the progression of shooting, he threw away the idea about the second look.

That happened only when he realized the fact that when a character is going through so many problems, she cannot think of outfits.

Q.: Usually Ajay Devgan is accepted with his serious look. What do you think?

A.: That’s true but he plays few great comic characters too. And that’s very natural and goes with the character of the actual Ajay Devgan we see on the sets. Working with him was a great experience.

Q.: Has he played any prank during the shooting of this movie?

A.: I would like to mention one incident. Once he made me look like a real big fool. One scene was okayed in the first take but Ajay Devgan and Raj ji made me do it several times. They kept on inspiring me to give the take again and again and I went on following their instructions.

But when I saw that they are just laughing at me I realized that there must be something terribly wrong. And I found that they were just playing a prank on me.

Q.: How was the experience of working with Rajkumar Santoshi?

A.: That was a nice experience. He used to explain every minute thing before the shooting and at the same time he used to inspire all the crew members and actors. I enjoy talking to him as he is very intelligent. Whether it’s History, religion or current affairs he has knowledge of every field.

Q.: Is there any message in the film?

A.: Actually the film shows that there are problems in everybody’s life and there are some people who try to solve them and some who just evade them. In this film all the characters are conscious about the odds and they all come together to face that. It teaches us the positive sides of unity.

Vidya Balan has been selected in this role in the replacement of Priyanka Chopra. Now, it is time to see that what she done in that film and will he get more popularity? The film will suppose to be release on 11 December 2008. She told that she got help in every pets form Ajay Devgan and the director Santoshi during shooting.
