Vidya Balan not in Suchitra biopic
Bollywood actress Vidya Balan has rejected the biopic on late Bengali screen legend Suchitra Sen, primarily due to no physical resemblance.
“I was offered the biopic but I am not doing it. I was surprised that it came out in the media that I agreed to do it and have even started training in Kathak. I would have loved to do it…loved to play her on screen,” Vidya told PTI in an interview.
She said she loved the script and “I feel there is absolutely no physical resemblance to her. It's a Bengali film, so I feel Raima Sen, her granddaughter looks like her and she should be doing it.”
Vidya said she might have done this project if it was in Hindi. “Had it been in Hindi, then (it would) still (be) ok as you can take certain liberties but it's in Bengali,” the 37-year-old actress said.
Reportedly, there was another biopic that was offered to Vidya on late Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.”I was not offered this film. I don't know where this news came from that I was offered this film,” the national award-winning actress said.
Vidya is looking forward to the release of Mohit Suri's “Humari Adhuri Kahaani” which will hit the screens on June 12.
