Vidya Balan is reportedly all set to play the lead in Ekta Kapoor's next film, " Ragini MMS", based on the infamous MMS scandal in a Delhi school.
Earlier, Kangna Ranaut had been approached to play the role and she'd reportedly even agreed. But Kangna walked out of the movie a few days ago, when she heard about the explicit content it will have due to the subject of the story. But Ekta has apparently already found a replacement in Vidya Balan.
Says a source, "Kangna walked out of the film, perhaps because she had developed cold feet about the movie. This is a bold movie and it needs an actress who can do justice to a strong portrayal. Vidya is can deliver such intense roles with confidence. She is anyway doing "Dirty Picture", based on the life of Silk Smitha, with Ekta and her company felt that she's appropriate for the role. So, they've approached her." When we contacted Balaji Motion Pictures, CEO Tanuj Garg sent us an SMS saying, "I don't want to say anything at this stage. But the film is definitely on."
After playing the role of Sabrina Lall, sister of slain Delhi model Jessica, in "No One Killed Jessica", and Silk Smitha in "Dirty Picture", it seems Vidya's becoming quite popular with filmmakers wanting to cast actresses for 'real' roles. This latest role, if confirmed, would be the latest in a series of realistic, offbeat films for the actress.

Television queen Ekta Kapoor who is a big believer of astrology and numerology, makes sure that her numbers come up to a total of 3, 6 or 9. And apparently, she is not the only person in Bollywood who follows this trend. Says screenwriter Rajat Arora, “Most of the industry wants its car number plates in multiples of three while four and eight are numbers every one avoids.”
While eight is unlucky for some, it’s lucky for some others. Bollywood heart-throb Ranbir Kapoor considers eight to be his lucky number, since his mother Neetu was born on July 8.
Abhay Deol is known for the off beat movies that he does. Even when it comes to number plates, this young and talented actor is doing things differently than his peers. Abhay has a number plate that reads “AD 420”. Now how cool is that for a young actor to forget about superstition and have a number plate based on his initials with a little humour on his jeep!
