Vidya Balan is flying high. After the Bachchans confirmed her as lead in AB Corp Ltd and Spice Team Entertainment's joint venture, the "Parineeta" girl will be working with
Rituparno Ghosh in two films -- one Bengali and the other Hindi.
Both the films by the famous Bengali director are being produced by the banner of Rama Entertainment (Guddu Dhanoa, Sunil Saini and Deepak Sharma), which had last
produced "Sheesha" and is now set to release "Siskiyaan".
Says Sunil Saini: "Rituparno Ghosh was very keen to work with Vidya and it was his idea to cast Prasenjit and Vidya opposite each other. They'll make a wonderful pair on
screen. We are planning to start shooting for the Bengali film first, after which the Hindi film "London Summer" will follow."
Vidya is also doing Rajkumar Hirani's sequel to "Munnabhai MBBS", besides Vidhu Vinod Chopra's "Eklavya" (earlier titled "Yagna"), which is currently being shot in
Rajasthan.
