Vidya Balan, the Bollywood actress backed out from director Kamal's ambitious project Aami, the Kamal Surayya biopic, at the last minute. In the recent interview given to Manorama online, Kamal finally opened up about Vidya's exit.

The senior director, who is extremely disappointed with the actress slammed her stating that her action is totally 'unprofessional and unethical'. According to Kamal, Vidya Balan quit the project just a few days before the shooting.

He remarks that Vidya was extremely impressed with the screenplay, and ever started learning Malayalam for her character. Kamal also revealed that the actress never expressed her disagreement with the script, if there was any.

The director alleges that Vidya didn't even reveal the reason behind her decision, and just informed that she is facing difficulties to become the character. However, the director is confident that Vidya's withdrawal will not affect Aami.

Kamal believes that his comment about the National Anthem is not the reason behind Vidya's exit from the project. But, he feels that the actress was uncomfortable with the fact that Aami discusses Kamala Surayya's religious conversion.

As per the sources close to the project, the team is actively searching for a suitable face to portray Kamala Surayya in the movie. Kamal is determined that he will proceed with the works of Aami, after finding a replacement for Vidya.
