Vidya Balan might look really odd with young heroes like Shahid Kapur but she continues to bag biggie films with a period feel or where the heroine is supposed to look Indian. And yeah, what she's best suited to – matured heroes!

She's starring with Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan in Raj Kumar Santoshi's 'Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya Woh Jamiya Nahin.'

Thankfully she'll be playing Sanjay Dutt's wife in the film and isn't the romantic interest of youngster Neil Nitin Mukesh who's the third lead!

The movie will be shot in India because according to director Santoshi shooting in Lahore is impractical as the crew mightn't get the architecture of the partition times any more.

So art designer, Nitish Roy is building Lahore in Hyderabad now. Every lane, by-line, the transportation; the electric wires will be recreated. Extensive research on Lahore during the Partition era is done so that every detail is replicated.

Santoshi calls it a challenge as it is his second pre-Independence film after 'The Legend of Bhagat Singh where he'll combine drama and fiction into history.

With films like this one and 'Chenab Gandhi', Vidya's days in Bollywood are still not numbered!
