The forthcoming film Hey Baby will have Vidya Balan looking stunning after her glamorous western makeover.
Vidya, after having repeatedly played the demure ghagra or salwar kameez clad quintessential Indian girl in her previous films, has undergone a glamorous western makeover by fashion designer Manish Malhotra .
Vidya says, “I love my look in the film. It’s different. The credit for the same goes to Sajid Khan (director) and Manish.”
Vidya succinctly comments, “I have not featured in the song. But I attended the shoot. All of them looked stunning. I told Sajid that I better look good in the film!”
Having chosen ‘Hey Baby’ over another biggie like Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (date issues), Vidya is banking on ‘Hey Baby’s box office appeal to incarnate her as the new ‘It’ girl.
Sajid says he’s very impressed with her histrionics and the fact that she is a complete foil to the comic antics of the three leading men, gives her a chance to reaffirm that she's has loads of talent and charm to get her to sail the treacherous waters of Bollywood.
She is the unwed mother of the ‘Baby’ and one of three is the father. To teach them a lesson she secretly dumps the baby on them with a note that one of them is the father, forcing them to not just look after the baby but also find her mother to determine who the father is.
