Vidya snubs the ‘heroes’
The top heroes of the film industry may be giving Vidya Balan a miss, but Vidya insists it’s actually the other way round. The big Khans have been apprehensive about working alongside the South siren for fear of being upstaged, but Vidya says the Khans are not really the industry’s biggest stars at all. “I want to know who the so-called ‘heroes’ are that we talk about,” she demands to know. “As far as I’m concerned, the top heroes of the film industry are Gulzar saab and R. Balki, and I’ve worked with them,” she smiles.
Explaining this rather strange stance of hers, she says that it’s not really the actors who make a film, rather the script and the vision of the man calling the shots. “I don’t care who the hero of the film is. Give me a good script and I’ll do more than my 100 per cent to the film. For me, the guys who work on the film make the stars, and not vice versa,” she says.
Whatever be the calculations, the fact remains that Vidya has delivered back-to-back blockbusters almost single handedly. We’d take that any day of the week, big name co-star or not.
