For 'The Dirty Picture' Vidya Balan gained a whopping 12 kgs and now, the actress has been asked by director Raj Kumar Gupta to retain her curves for his forthcoming film Ghanchakkar, in which Vidya Balan will play the role of a sexy Punjabi housewife.
It was a little difficult to convince Viday as she wanted to get rid of those extra pounds soon after the release of 'The Dirty Picture'. The actress maintained the same voluptuous figure for 'Kahaani', too.
"It took some amount of persuasion. She plays a flamboyant Punjabi housewife in Ghanchakkar. So it only makes sense if she retains the weight (from TDP and Kahaani) in my film too," Gupta told.
Ms Balan will be cast opposite Emraan Hashmi and will essay the role of a seductive and very curvy home maker. The actress, with her film Ghanchakkar, is all set to put an end to the wrong notion that "housewives are boring".
Well, if you thought, housewives are ungroomed personalities, with unkempt hair and shabbily dressed, well, then Vidya is all set to surprise you.
"Ghanchakkar" is a sequel to the 2006-hit "Pyaar Ke Side Effects", which starred Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat.
