SEPT 23- Vidya Balan is all set to deliver another smashing character depiction as she is going to play the title role in ‘Bobby Jasoos’, Dia Mirza and Sahil Sangha’s next production.
“The idea of playing a female detective was irresistible. Also, the movie title intrigued me,” says Vidya.
She adds, “I’ve known Dia and Sahil for years now. They are the kind of producers every actor wants to work with. But the final clincher for me was Sanyuktha Chawla’s script and director Samar Shaikh. It kept me hooked and I am really looking forward to working with them.”
When Dia was quizzed as to why she zeroed in on Vidya for the role, she said, “She was an obvious choice. She is a powerhouse performer who has not been seen in such a space. Also, there are several layers to the character – she’s inquisitive, curious, intelligent, an out-of-the-box thinker and quick on her feet – and it just syncs so well with Vidya’s personality.”
Sahil adds, “Vidya’s presence will definitely make the film even more interesting for the audience. Bobby Jasoos is the first of three scripts we have been working on. I’m confident that the next one will follow soon, given our focus on developing pure and entertaining content for a universal audience.”
The film crew is scheduled to start shooting from mid-November and will hit the silver screen during the summer of 2014.
