Vidya Balan says being slammed for her fashion sense has helped her with her film

Life's come a full circle for Vidya Balan in terms of her dressing style. But it's only for her role in her upcoming film opposite Emraan Hashmi.

Sources say that in Ghanchakkar, Vidya is portrayed as having a poor style sense.

An industry insider says, `When she started out in Bollywood, everyone slammed Vidya's dressing sense. Her garish outfits and sack-like costumes won her brickbats from all quarters.

But thanks to designer Sabyasachi, Vidya created her own niche in the industry with her traditional sarees. But looks like the past has come back to haunt her in her next film.`


But Vidya is taking things in her stride as she says, `It was great fun to say the least. My character in the film is actually quite outlandish and crazy and yet so relatable. I wish every woman were as confident as my character Nitu Bhatia in terms of her body and appearance.`

Emraan plays Maharashtrian


Actor Emraan Hashmi will play a Maharashtrian character in "Ghanchakkar", says the film's director Rajkumar Gupta.

"It is true that Emraan Hashmi is playing a Maharashtrian in 'Ghanchakkar'. It is interesting because I think he hasn't played one in his career. The film has been entirely shot in Mumbai," said Gupta.

The film is about a quirky marriage between a Maharashtrian man and a loud Punjabi housewife essayed by Vidya Balan.

"Vidya speaks Punjabi in the film, but you will have to wait to see how Emraan got the nuances of playing a Maharashtrian," said Gupta.

Emraan's character is called Sanjay Athray, born and brought up in Mumbai. He is shown to be a guy who has come up in life the hard way, someone who was a lock picker in his early days, but who now lives a respectable life.

"Ghanchakkar" will release June 28.
