Agree with Shreya. I'm quite surprised KJO and YRF are jumping on the Emraan train so soon, I thought for sure it would take a good few years of solid work like OUATIM, Raaz 3 and TDP before they would dare to take him on. But perhaps the reason is there is such a dearth of good, young talent around. After the Khans, Devgan and maybe Akshay Kumar (and even that is questionable these days) who else has a draw with the audience? Ranbir Kapoor. That's it. The Khans are ageing and even Yash Raj can't keep pairing SRK with Anushka and Deepika etc. forever. Emraan, for all his 'questionable' past movies and his so-called erotic image, actually does connect with the audience, Murder 2 was an across the board smash-hit. And he's actually talented. So why not give him a go?

Vidya, on the other hand is veering away from commercial cinema. At least she should if she wants quality work. The absolute truth is that Bollywood, like all cinema industry, is male dominated and the men will always rule the roost. Occasionally you'll get a female-oriented blockbuster but then it always reverts to type. Vidya will get terrific roles in quality movies but it won't be with the pot-boiler commercial movies. But I think she's past the point of caring about that anymore.
