Yes, reports are that Pradeep Sarkar, director of Vidya's claim-to-fame Parineeta has been approached by Yash Chopra to direct a film for his banner.
And Sarkar wants Abhishek and Vidya in the lead.
The reports quote a member of Sarkar's unit as saying, “Dada has worked on a commercial with Abhishek recently and they had some discussion regarding the forthcoming venture. And, of course, he will be repeating Vidya Balan in his next film. In fact even Yashji is keen on casting her.”
Will the director be casting Vidya in the Chopra film? “I would love to work with her in all my projects,” he smiles.
When asked about Sarkar's film, Vidya said, “I am sure that Dada will call me when he makes a film. I am not aware of Abhishek being cast in the lead role, but it will be wonderful working with such an intense actor.”
Post-Parineeta, Vidya's stakes have been raised. The actress seems to figure prominently on the industry's most-wanted list.
Abhishek Bachchan opposite Vidya Balan?
