Vidya Balan, Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah have been signed for ‘Ishkiyan’ which is being produced by Vishal Bhardwaj and directed by his assistant director Abhishek Chaubey. Apparently, the film has the same UP dialect as in Vishal’s earlier film ‘Omkara’.
Now, for ‘Omkara’, Konkona had been tutored by Vishal to help her deliver her dialogues in UP dialect confidently, Konkona being a Bengali and yes, Konkona went on to win a National Award for her character in ‘Omkara’.
This time Vidya Balan, being a South India, expressed her inability to deliver the lines fluently in that chaste UP dialect. Vishal and Vidya then mutually agreed upon having a special tutor for her to learn the dialect and get well versed with the perfect tone of delivering it.
Vidya’s character in the film has few gray shades and she is supposed to fool the uncle and nephew duo of Naseer and Arshad in it. The film shoot begins from mid October and will be majorly shot in the parts of eastern UP and Delhi.
