Actress
Vidya
Balan,
who
gave
a
stellar
performance
in
Sujoy
Ghosh's
Kahaani,
says
it
was
tough
for
her
to
say
no
to
the
director
for
his
new
film
Durga
Rani
Singh.
"I
am
a
little
sad
I
couldn't
work
in
this
project
because
we
made
Kahaani
together
and
we
were
like
parents
of
Kahaani.
It
was
a
very
difficult
decision
for
me
to
say
no
to
Durga
Rani
Singh,
but
I
was
not
keeping
well
so
I
couldn't
do
it.
I
had
no
option," said
the
National
Award
winning
talent.
After
Vidya
turned
down
the
offer,
Kangana
Ranaut
was
approached
for
the
lead
role
in
Ghosh's
film.
But
even
she
refused
it.
Now
the
director
is
reportedly
on
the
lookout
for
an
apt
leading
lady
for
his
film.
Vidya
says
that
after
the
success
of
The
Dirty
Picture,
a
story
inspired
by
the
life
of
Silk
Smitha,
she
was
offered
biopics
almost
every
week.
"I
have
been
offered
many
biopics.
Every
week
someone
asked
me
about
new
biopics.
Three
offers
have
come
my
way,
but
I
have
not
accepted
anything,"
said
the
36-year-old.
Meanwhile,
Vidya,
who
is
currently
promoting
her
film
Bobby
Jasoos,
is
all
praise
for
the
movie's
producer
Dia
Mirza.
"She
is
great
with
taking
care
of
the
unit.
We
completed
the
film
in
50
days
and
no
one
ever
cribbed
about
their
work.
Dia
managed
the
work
beautifully
and
respects
the
unit,"
Vidya
said.
The
film
is
directed
by
Samar
Sheikh.
