Vidya got a new teacher...........

Bollywood actress Vidya Balan is doing every bit that she can to deliver her best in Vishal Bharadwaj's Ishqiya. For this, she even joined a 10-day workshop with her co-star Naseeruddin Shah.

"The character that Vidya is playing in Ishqiya is very complex and difficult to enact. Vidya thought that the way to emote the character on screen was best learnt from Naseeruddin Shah because the veteran actor is a master at it," a source close to the actress said.

"She was ecstatic to be discussing cinema with the master himself. Though they ended up discussing the film and cinema at length instead of doing a serious workshop, Vidya treasures the experience and is looking forward to working with the actor in the film," added the source.

Vidya, who stars opposite Arshad Warsi in the film, is not only taking lessons from Naseer but also also underwent classes to speak the typical Uttar Pradesh dialect during those 10 days.

"Vidya was just not familiar with the native that kind of Hindi. She mastered it by getting a teacher," said the source.

Vidya trying hard..........

Vidya Balan has indeed got a winner in her hands in the film 'Ishkiyaan' but in spite of her prowess in acting, it is not a cakewalk when it comes to acting in a creative venture of Vishal Bharadwaj.

She now has the additional responsibility of speaking Hindi in a pure U.P dialect as the film's story is set in a small town in the state.

The film will hit the floors in October and by then the actress has to learn the dialogues in the way the makers want her to speak.

A language tutor has been assigned to teach Vidya the local dialect used in the eastern parts of Uttar Pradesh.

'Ishkiyaan' produced by Vishal Bharadwaj and directed by his assistant director Abhishek Chaubey is an eagerly awaited movie because of the natural expectations of it being a film co-written by the versatile Vishal, a great team of lead male actors in Nasseruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi and also because Vidya Balan plays a role with negative shades for the first time.

The story revolves on the mission of the character played by the leading lady to fool both the characters of Naseer and his nephew played by Arshad simultaneously for a purpose which will be revealed when the film hits the screens.
