News
oi-IANS
By Ians English
National
Award
winning
actress
Vidya
Balan
confessed
her
love
for
football
is
just
limited
to
Argentinian
forward
Lionel
Messi's
good
looks.
"I
just
know
Messi
because
he
is
good
looking!
My
friends
tell
me
when
Messi's
game
will
be
telecast,
that
time
I
switch
on
the
TV
and
watch...else
I
don't
have
any
interest," she
admitted
to
reporters
here
while
promoting
her
forthcoming
release
"Bobby
Jasoos".
The
detective
comedy
revolves
around
a
female
character.
While
Vidya
plays
the
female
lead,
Ali
Fazal
plays
the
male
lead.
The
film
is
directed
by
Samar
Shaikh
and
is
co-produced
by
actress
Dia
Mirza
and
her
beau
Sahil
Sangha.
The
actress
met
Bengali
superstar
Prosenjit
Chatterjee,
fondly
called
Bumba
da,
at
his
residence
here.
She
said
the
two
were
keen
to
work
together
but
no
suitable
script
had
come
their
way
yet.
"I
told
him
that
today
(Saturday)
Bobby
has
come
to
meet
Kakababu
(one
of
Prosenjit's
popular
on-screen
characters
adapted
from
a
series
of
novels).
"Bumba
da
has
encouraged
me
a
lot.
I
know
him
from
'Parineeta'
days
and
the
late
Rituparno
Ghosh
wanted
to
make
a
film
with
the
two
of
us
and
we
always
discuss
that
he
is
no
more
but
we
should
work
together
sometime...but
we
don't
know
when
that
will
be
possible.
We
haven't
received
a
script
which
we
both
like...," she
said,
adding
the
actor
wishes
her
via
sms
before
every
release.
