If
you
are
wondering
where
the
sultry
actress
Vidya
Malvade
has
disappeared,
well
your
search
ends
here.
She
will
soon
be
seen
in
Chak
De
India
along
with
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
The
film
is
produced
by
Yash
Raj
camp
and
directed
by
Shimit
Amin
(of
Ab
Tak
Chhappan
fame).
Vidya is quite excited about the film and says, "It has been an absolute pleasure working for the film. Yash Raj films are too good they have their own supplies and know where to put them right". So how did she bag a role with the prestigious Yash Raj Banner? "The casting director and Mr. Aditya Chopra were looking for my character for a long time and then they saw me on my show on Zoom TV and decided to cast me in the film. Further she states, "My character is very simple and underplayed, she is someone who you won't give a second look."
My
character
in
'Chak
De
India'
is
someone
who
you
won't
give
a
second
look.
The
film
will
see
Vidya
playing
the
character
of
a
hockey
player
and
Shah
Rukh
as
the
coach.
"We
went
through
intense
training
for
9
months
for
the
role
and
whenever
we
weren't
training
we
were
shooting,
it
was
quite
hectic." Ask
her
about
Shah
Rukh
and
like
anybody
would
say
she
too
is
full
of
praise
for
the
actor.
"Shah
Rukh
is
amazing
and
so
involved.
He
has
charm
oozing
out
of
his
sleeves
and
everywhere
else.
The
first
time
he
met
the
girls
everyone
loved
him.
Thankfully
I
had
worked
with
him
earlier
in
an
ad
film
but
working
in
a
movie
is
different.
He
is
always
there
and
so
down
to
earth."
So with the theme of a coach training an all woman hockey team doesn't it remind of the Hollywood blockbuster Bend It Like Beckhem? Ask Vidya on any inspirations and she reverts, "Well it's a sports film and most of the sports films are alike. But we also have a little back story to it. Regarding the resemblance to Bend It Like Beckhem I am just going to shut up. People are just writing what they 'want' to write and I am just smiling reading at those stories"
Vidya will also be seen in another film being directed by Amit Saxena who debuted with the John Abraham - Bipasha Basu thriller Jism, 4 years back. The film is titled Take 2 where Vidya is cast alongside Shiney Ahuja and Karan Oberoi. The final schedule of Take 2 has begun, "There are only 10-15 days of shooting left for the film and as soon as we get the dates in place it will take off. I play two characters one opposite Shiney and the other opposite Karan. The film has a very interesting story line; it's a take off on the Hollywood film called 'Sliding Doors'. After the first 10 - 15 minutes of the film it splits into two, that's how I play two characters. It's really beautiful as both the characters have their journey and come and meet again in the end. The assimilation is really nice when the characters meet again. Amit has done a fantastic job and is visually shot very well. And people who have seen the rushes say that I have done well so I am very glad."
