Bollywood actress Vidya Balan is all set to play lead in Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming venture ‘Ragini MMS’, which is based on the infamous MMS scandal in a prestigious Delhi based school.
The report further revealed that while talking to a daily, a source confirmed the news and said, “Kangna walked out of the film, perhaps because she had developed cold feet about the movie. This is a bold movie and it needs an actress who can do justice to a strong portrayal. Vidya can deliver such intense roles with confidence. She is anyway doing ‘Dirty Picture’, based on the life of Silk Smitha, with Ekta, and her company felt that she`s appropriate for the role.
After playing the role of Sabrina Lall, sister of slain Delhi model Jessica, in “No One Killed Jessica”, and Silk Smitha in “Dirty Picture”, it seems Vidya’s becoming quite popular with filmmakers wanting to cast actresses for ‘real’ roles. This latest role, if confirmed, would be the latest in a series of realistic, offbeat films for the actress.
With Kangana leaving the project, Ekta Kapoor was on the lookout for a new leading lady for Ragini MMS. And though representatives from Balaji Telefilms are reluctant to make any comments about Vidya Balan agreeing to play the role that was disowned by Kangana Ranaut, the media is abuzz with reports of the femme fatale of Bollywood saying yes to Ekta Kapoor.
