Vidya signs a film with John

Whether Bipasha Basu approves of it or not is yet to be seen. But, Vidya Balan has signed a David Dhawan comedy, Hook Ya Crook with Bips's boyfriend John Abraham.

It seems Vidya has developed an affinity towards comedies. While Vishal Bhardwaj's Ishqya will mark Vidya's entry in the comedy genre , Hook Ya Crook will be her second.

In Ishqya , Vidya plays up the uncle (Naseeruddin Shah) against his nephew, Arshad Warsi. Hook Ya Crook was to earlier star Telugu star Siddharth with Amrita Rao. But they were dropped and Vidya and John came on board.

After Salaam-e-Ishq , Vidya drops her sedate saree-clad image again for Hook ... Says David, "I was recently watching Vidya in Parineeta and I think she is one of the most beautiful girls we've had in the industry. Just working with her would be a pleasure. She has such lovely eyes and a truly Indian face."

So is David casting Vidya because he needs a totally Indian face this time? He laughs off the question with, "I would ask you to just wait and watch. Hook...is new territory for all of us. I've never worked with the film's writer Rensil D'Silva before... and this is the first time he is writing a comedy. Also, my son will assist me for the last time as he will then direct independently." Hook ... goes on the floors in November.

Vidya is at least signing alot of films with different heroes. Her track with John was probably one of the few pluses in SEI.

😕 what happened to producers these days while selecting star cast....

I would love to see Vidya-John again..they were the only reason I kept on watching SEI to the end.
