The latest news is that the sensuous Bollywood actress Vidya Balan is going to essay the role of Jayalalithaa while Vishnu Induri who is behind CCL and NTR Biopic is showing interest to produce this. More details on this project will be out soon officially.

From the past few days, there are many news about legendary actor NTR’s biopic. The film is yet to be launched and there are few months left to go on floors also. However, the casting process is underway.

The makers are in hunt to rope in an apt actress to play the role of NTR’s wife, Basavatarakam. It is even heard that well established actors including Nithya Menen were considered but none came on board.

As per the latest reports, ace Bollywood actress Vidya Balan has recently been signed to play Basavatarakam in NTR biopic. It is heard that she offered good remuneration and manageable number of call sheets. However, no official confirmation from Vidya Balan about her role in NTR biopic film.

Well, we think she can bring authenticity to Basavatarakam’s character with her brilliant acting and charm. What do you think guys?

Currently, the most successful trend of the biopic is going on in Indian Cinema. Bollywood is making a biopic on yesteryear’s Hindi damsel Meena Kumari.

This biopic which was planned in 2015 has not materialized when the brother of Meena has objected Kangana Ranaut as the main lead. After all these years, the makers have refueled this project by taking talented Vidya Balan on board. Vidya Balan who is busy wrapping up her current project Tumari Sallu has didn’t sign this project yet as she got a couple of commitments in her kitty. But makers are quite confident that only Vidya can do justice for the role of Meena Kumari.

Makers have approached Priyanka Chopra earlier, but she failed to provide dates because of her Hollywood projects. Well, Vidya fits the shoes of Meena Kumari perfectly than any other Bollywood actresses says a famous Bollywood critic.

Super Star Rajinikanth is gearing up for his next film now. PA Ranjith is all set to direct the movie now. Dhanush is going to produce the film. There is a talk that Bollywood actress Vidya Balan is going to act in the female lead role of the film. But it looks like Vidya Balan might not be a part of the project and another actress is going to be a part of the film now.

Kajol who has recently acted with Dhanush in VIP might be roped in for this Rajinikanth film as well. She was seen in the film Merupu Kalalu in the past, and after a long gap, she is back in South film industry again. As of now, nothing has been confirmed, and more details will be out soon.

Even as superstar Rajinikanth’s next film is all set to go on floors this month, the filmmakers have not revealed much about the project. For the past few days, there are many names of leading female actors including Deepika Padukone, who were reportedly being considered for the lead role in the film, which is tentatively called Thalaivar 161. Vidya Balan, however, was touted to be the top choice of the filmmakers.

Earlier, when Vidya was asked if she was part of the Rajinikanth-starrer, she had said, “We will know in a while.” Now, the latest buzz in the industry has suggested that she has walked out of the project due to date issues. The filmmakers have resumed their search for the leading lady once again, said reports.

Speculations were rife that she quit the project due to the pressure from the right-wing groups. She was later replaced by actor Manju Warrier in the film. It seems like fans may have to wait a little longer to see Vidya in a south Indian film.

Thalaivar 161 will reunite the Kabali duo, Rajinikanth, and director Pa. Ranjith. The film will be bankrolled by Dhanush’s home production banner Wunderbar Films and is expected to start rolling from the last week of May.

Often we have seen movies themed around partition, but none with women taking the center stage. Begum Jan breaks the ice and comes off as one such movie. Directed by Srijit Mukherji who has remade his own Bengali film into Begum Jaan. However he sets this period drama in Punjab border.

From the trailers one can make out it’s about some fearless women in a brothel who are ready for a war. The movie dates back to 1947 in the independence era. Pakistan has been freshly partitioned. The government wants to draw a line of border. There is a brothel which exists on this border line, where half it geographically belongs to Punjab and half to Lahore. The women in brothel are asked to evict. The women aren’t ready to give it up and then the battle for the border begins. The rest of the story is about the struggle, side-effects of the struggle, some sub-plots and the culmination.

From the beginning, the movie maintains a loud tone throughout which is one of the biggest drawbacks. The director didn’t seem to have the word subtle in his dictionary. The melodrama is not just loud but exaggerated. There is also a spoon-feeding at the end to make sure audience did get the message which they were trying to narrate the whole 2 hours hence beating the purpose of the screenplay. There are some dialogues that hold the attention though.

There ensemble is huge. Many of them stand out, but Chunkey Pandey gives the biggest surprise as an antagonist. Mrs. Balan was no doubt true to her character. She plays the Big Boss of the brothel. She comes off as a foul mouthed and headstrong woman but feels for everyone and is the guardian for everyone in the house. A complex character to portray but she does it with an ease. Amazing body language. To support her Pallavi Sharda and Gauhar Khan also make a good impact. Naseeruddin Shah excels as usual. Rajit Kapur and Ashish Vidyarthi were decent too, representing the countries.

Though it has a good ensemble, its quantity over quality. Many characters looked half-baked and under developed. It could have been better if the director restrained himself to focusing only in few, as the movie as a whole was too much to consume. The backstories do evoke sympathy, but somehow the over-stuffed content makes it fizzle in not much time.

Cinematography of the movie is also a bit distracting. Music is average. The duration is slightly more than two hours but the content is loaded. The cast run the movie to a major extent.

On the whole, Begum Jaan is a movie that is watchable if one can tolerate the loudness and the shrill.

Vidya Balan was recently seen in the film Begum Jaan. The film is releasing today in a grand manner. The film unit is busy with the promotions, and the film unit wanted to release the movie in Pakistan as well as the story happens in that area as well. But the information we have reveals that the Pakistan government has not granted the permission for the film release.

The producer Mukesh Bhatt has requested the government to watch the film and then take a decision, but they have neglected the request made by the producer and even the censor board also did not consider the producer’s request. The film is not releasing in Pakistan now. The film is about Begum Jaan who runs a brothel house during the India-Pakistan partition time.

The National award winner Vidya Balan is back once again with her bold movie Begum Jaan. Yesterday the trailer for the film was released.

The movie’s backdrop is set in the times of India- Pakistan partition after Independence. The story is all about a woman named Begum Jaan, a brothel who maintains some other women along with her by doing business. Her palace which was exactly located on the partition line is ordered to be removed by the inhabitants of both the countries. As the Begum refuses to vacate, the rest of the story is about her fight for her palace. The trailer for sure amuses us with Amitabh’s narration, Om Puri’s presence, and Chunky Pandey’s shocking makeover. Last but not the least, Vidya nailed the entire trailer with her performance.

The movie will be released on 14th April worldwide. Srijith Mukherjee has directed this periodic drama based on original instances.

Vidya Balan has got the appreciations for many of her roles in the film industry. She is known as a versatile actress on Indian screen; She is currently busy with a movie titled as Begum Jaan. The film is based on the women who turned prostitutes in Bengal area during the country partition. Srijith Mukherjee is the director of the movie, and the film relies on another Bengali film Raaj Kahaani. The film is certainly going to be interesting, and the makers released a poster from the movie.

The film will depict the lives of all the women who have suffered a lot of struggles over that period of time. Gauhar Khan is also going to be seen in another interesting role as a prostitute. The first look of the film released recently has got a very good response. The film is slated for a release on 14th April.
