Vidya Balan act in 'Mr Right'

Vidya Balan act in 'Mr Right': Vidya Balan is one of the most eligible bachelorettes of Bollywood, but she says that she is not looking for Mr Right and is instead focusing on her career. The actress who has a retrospective section dedicated to her at the Indian Film Festival 2011, which opened here today, laughed off reports that she is engaged to Siddharth Roy Kapur, head honcho of UTV Motion pictures.  "I like his height so he might be worth considering," quipped Vidya adding, "There is no Mr Right, it just becomes right in love."
The actress who won over the critics with her roles in films like Paa and Ishqiya said that she now wants to do comedy roles. "I would love to do comedy but such films invariably don't have enough for the girls to do. But I have come across a script and it is being put together right now," said Vidya. Vidya said that she is excited about Dirty Picture, the bio-pic where she plays, which she says is a challenge to her as an actor.

"It gives me a chance to portray a real life character, Silk Smitha, a person I don't really understand and that is an exciting thing for me as an actor. That is a challenge, to portray that person with whom you don't identify at all," she said.

Earlier, in a press conference Vidya also spoke to local media along with other actors and directors including Arbaaz Khan, Ali Zafar, Kabir Khan and Raj Kumar Gupta who are here to attend the 10 day long festival. Of the diverse selection of 30 films, more than half are Australian and New Zealand premieres, some with filmmakers in attendance.

Mallika Sherawat is excessively challenging: Jacqueline Fernandez

Mallika Sherawat is excessively challenging: Jacqueline Fernandez: Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez, who is starring opposite Emraan Hashmi in Bollywood film "Murder 2", is all praise for Mallika Sherawat, the lead actress in "Murder"."I have seen `Murder` and I loved Mallika`s performance. I think she is extremely daring and that`s something we can all learn from her," Jacqueline, who was here for a promotional event of energy drink Burn at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week (LFW), told reporters.

"As an actress, it`s so nice to see someone so bold, so daring and so brave and I think that`s what she stands for, which is great."According to reports, the 25-year-old actress will be seen in a bold avatar, doing some intimate scenes with Emraan in the film.

Asked to comment on the film, she said: "When you get into a field like acting, a lot of other things become immaterial. So if the role and the script demands something, you do it."Jacqueline, who has worked in films like "Aladin" and "Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai", will also be seen in the sequel of Sajid Khan directorial "Houseful".

So is she becoming the replacing queen? "I don`t think it`s a matter of replacing anyone. I`m in a `Murder` sequel, which is a totally different narrative as compared to the original film. And `Houseful 2` is also a completely different narrative from its original. It`s got a completely different star cast for the girls this time. So it was not a matter of replacing anyone," the actress said.

"When people will watch `Murder 2`, they`ll realize that it`s such a different movie. So I don`t think that they`ll be able to compare even if they want to because both the films are not at all alike. If it was along the same story line or a continuation, then I would understand but here the situation is different," she added.

Jacqueline, who was crowned the Miss Sri Lanka Universe 2006, made her debut in Bollywood in 2009 with Sujoy Ghosh`s "Aladin". She is happy of finally getting plump projects in the industry. "This year things are looking a little up for me, which is great because the kind of movies I`m doing now and the kind of work I`m getting, I think I`ve kind of found my place in Bollywood," she said.
