Vidya's bold portrayal of sex siren Silk Smitha in 'The Dirty Picture',back in 2011,was lauded by critics which led to her sweeping all the 'Best Actress' awards including her first National Award for Best Actress. According to HT, the actress has given the green light to another biopic.
“Yes, I’m doing a biopic,” she admits on being questioned about it.
The buzz has been for quite some time now that this biopic will be based around the life of former Indian prime minister, Indira Gandhi.
When questioned further about this rumour, Vidya says, “I can’t reveal much as I’m bound by contract. All I can say is that I’m doing one. When the time is right, they (the makers) will make the necessary announcement.”
Vidya has two films set to release this year - Rajkumar Santoshi's Ghanchakkar opposite Emraan Hashmi and Shaadi Ke Side Effects opposite Farhan Akhtar.
