Mumbai, July 01: Vidya Balan and Raj Kumar Hirani became good friends while working in Lage Raho Munnabhai. And though the filmmaker is busy with his film 3 Idiots, starring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor, he seems unable to take Vidya out of his mind.
As a result, the director has offered Vidya a cameo in the multi-starrer film.
A birdie says Raju offered Vidya the role when they recently met at a common friend’s place after a long time.
Interestingly, Vidya, who has in the past showered praises on Raju and his directorial capabilities, is yet to accept the offer. She reportedly told the director that though she was thrilled and honoured to be asked to be a part of the project, she needed time before giving her final nod.
We guess Vidya, who is known for her cautious image, must be wondering if the cameo would really benefit her career.
The film already has Mona Singh in a cameo, and we guess even Vidya would say yes to the small role.
Not long ago, Vidya had said she was not in the mood for cameos, but we guess she does not want to spoil her relation with Raju.
Meanwhile, she is focusing on her next film, Vishal Bhardwaj-produced Ishquiya.
Since she has a pivotal role in the film, Vidya has worked hard to acquire the Bihari lingo and look. She says she is eagerly awaiting the release of the film.
