Kangana Ranaut will replace Vidya Balan in ‘Ishqiya’ sequel, titled, ‘Dekh Ishqiya’. Kangana is yet to sign up the project but she has been confirmed by the director Abhishek Chaubey. If the rumor is to be believed, Kangana has grabbed the project from Rani Mukherjee who was keen to be in the sequel.

Apart from Kangana, the sequel will have one more heroine. Madhuri Dixit is in the top list but she was not yet confirmed. When Rani heard that Vidya is no longer in the project, she started campaigning to get the role.

The movie gave Vidya a new dimension to her career and moreover, everyone is desperate to work with Vishal Bharadwaj. Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah will play the lead heroes in the sequel also.

Abhsihek Chaubey’s sequel to his Ishqiya has been titled Dedh Ishqiya and the director is keen to have Madhuri Dixit in the film along with his earlier cast of Vidya Balan, Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi.

Says a source connected to the sequel. “It will be quite something to watch the two radiant beauties together.”

Looks like, Vidya’s dream of acting with Madhuri Dixit will soon come true.

Back in 2006, when Vidya was just two-films-old in the industry, she was asked who her idol was.
“Madhuri Dixit,” Vidya had promptly replied, adding that she only wanted to conduct her career with half the grace and dignity that Mads had.

We wonder, where’s Madhuri gonna fit in the sequel…

Vidya Balan has got two films lined up for release this year, ‘Dirty Picture’ and ‘Kahaani’. Due to packed dates, Vidya refused south star Kamal Hassan. Kamal approached Vidya for ‘Vishwaroopam’ but the actress refused due to dates problem.

She was keen to star opposite the star but she is helpless. Kamal is penning the screenplay, lyrics and dialogues of the movie. The film also stars Sonakshi Sinha in a pivotal role. It is a trilingual movie to be made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

This will be the costliest Indian film ever made.
