Vidya BalanVidya Balan – the surprise package in 'Lage Raho Munnabhai'

Vidya Balan is being touted as the big surprise package in the Sanjay Dutt starrer Lage Raho Munnabhai , which releases this Friday.

Vidya, who made quite an impression in her debut Hindi film Parineeta , essays the role of a Radio Jockey - Jhanvi - in the sequel to Munnabhai MBBS .



"The film is not just a comedy. It's about life. It's about a subject that everybody will connect to. There is a lot of substance," Vidya was quoted as saying about the much-awaited comic caper.

A lot of energy flows through the film and that, she says, is because of the "energetic character of Raju Hirani " – the director of the film.

"Jhanvi is today's girl and the clothes complement my looks," said Vidya.

Having won almost all the best debutant awards for ‘Parineeta’, Vidya's kitty is full. She has Vidhu Vinod Chopra 's Eklavya , Nikhil Advani 's Salaam-e-Ishq , Rajkumar Santoshi 's "Halla Bol" and Mani Ratnam 's Guru in hand.

Bengali cinema where she had made her silver screen debut sure must be missing her.

If "Lage Raho Munnabhai" is even half the success that the original was, Vidya will be on her way to clinch an enviable title of being commercially successful and critically acclaimed.

Given that Bollywood actresses have to wait decades before they can even remotely claim to be both, Vidya sure has lady luck on her side.
