Buzz is that Karan Johar wants to cast the two in his next.

The success of The Dirty Picture and Kahaani has evidently put Vidya Balan in the elite list and made her amongst the most sought after actresses in Bollywood. If the recent industry buzz is to be believed, Vidya Balan is on the wish-list of Karan Johar now.

It's a known fact that Karan Johar has acquired the rights of the novel ' The Immortals of Meluha'. The novel written by Amish Tripathi is a trilogy on Lord Shiva. After watching Vidya Balan's work in The Dirty Picture and Kahaani, Karan Johar strongly wishes to cast Vidya Balan as the female lead of the film. Apparently Vidya will be seen portraying the role of Parvati, Lord Shiva's wife.

But in that case who would be playing Lord Shiva is the big question. Hrithik Roshan is the name being considered by KJo. The two delivered the biggest hit of this year in Agneepath. So if everything goes fine, we would get to see a fresh pairing in the form of Hrithik Roshan and Vidya Balan. The jodi seems as unique as unusual it is.

Karan Johar literally knows how to get the best of both worlds!

I am really looking forward to this pairing. Unconventional.
Spolier : *Vidya will have a ball playing Kali and Parvati. Excited to see her as Kali * This film is going to need a huge ensemble. More than housefull 2 😛


@Kal El : And doing tandav with shiv as well😆 If she has to dance with Hrithik...omg! imagine. I still remember the disaster with Shahid in KK.😆 Maybe she'll finally shed weight. But her height is also a problem for the role of parvati. But she is such a good actress, so probably she'll convince us somehow.

Actually this is a good one.
Initially, when I heard that 'The Immortals of Meluha' would be made into a movie, and that too by KJo, I was a bit tentative.
Had read the book and appreciated it a lot. Both Shiv and Parvati are very strong characters and I was wondering who could actually play the roles (ignoring who would be cast). To me, Hrithik is the perfect Shiva - Shiva as shown in the book, sensitive, innocent, loving, caring, a great leader and a warrior.
I was bothered more about the female cast since it's a very powerful interpretation of Sati. Fierce, loyal, caring - and I could view Vidya in that avatar.
These roles will need very serious acting and if done well, the movie should be well received. Any fake acting is really gonna kill this one.
So if KJo actually manages to go ahead with this dream cast, then this will make my day, for sure. I so wish that this gets finalised soon and that both Hrithik and Vidya agrees.

I share the concerns as well but maybe Kismat Konnection is one movie that should be left abck where it is and not regurgitated.
From an actor's perspective, I feel both hrithik and Vidya will do fine as both of them are good actors and can emote very well.
And Kal, yes, she can do the warriior princess I feel, she has that power in her face - a power coming from within.

No, this is a fantasy adventure tale, set in ancient India, which reimagines the Shiva mythology as the story of a human being who came to be regarded as God. The show on Life OK is a mythological in the traditional sense.

I don't think the show is based on the book per se, but since it is based on Shiva's life, just like the book, there are going to be overlappings.
You could read 2 parts of The Trilogy - they are pretty interesting
