“It is set to roll next month. ��Before that, Vidya wants to train in Kathak, and for that, she will also get a dance teacher, Pt Jayu Raman to the city from Lucknow. ��The training program will start next week and go on for two weeks…��She (Balan) admires the late actor, and since it�۪s a biopic, she wants her portrayal to be authentic. ��After the makers informed her that she will have Kathak dance sequences in the film, she asked them to arrange for a teacher,” a source informed��Hindustan Times.
Suchitra Sen passed away at the age of 84 in January 2014, due to a cardiac actress. ��The veteran actress was popular for her performances in films such as ‘Devdas’ (1955), in which she played Paro to Dilip Kumar’s Devdas. ��It can be noted that her daughter, Moon Moon Sen, and granddaughters, Riya Sen and Raima Sen, are also actresses.
