Vidya Balan ready to work with Mahesh Bhatt

Just days after opting out of Sujoy Ghosh’s film and dodging pregnancy rumours, Vidya Balan has made herself available for Mahesh Bhatt’s upcoming ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahani’.

The actress returned from the USA with husband Siddharth Roy Kapur, feeling fresh and ready to go. She met up with Bhatt and confirmed she is willing to shoot whenever required. However, before that she will be flying out to Sydney for a film festival, then returning to pick up her Padma Shri.

Bhatt told Mumbai Mirror, “All is well, Vidya and Vishesh Films are on board together.” Explains Mahesh, “Portions of Hamari Adhuri Kahani will be filmed in the Middle-East and you cannot shoot there throughout the year. Also, Emraan’s son Ayan is still undergoing treatment and the film won’t start till he completes Vikram’s (Bhatt) Mr X. He won’t shoot for more than one film at a time till June.”

A source told Mumbai Mirror, “She will continue to do commercials and has just finished dubbing for one and signed up for a big endorsement deal which might require her to travel abroad for a few days,” says the friend. “She also wants to renovate her home where she’s hardly spent time since her wedding.”
