Priyadarshan, the Malayalam and Hindi director who has given many a hits in both the languages intends to remake Chandramukhi in Hindi. Vidya is going to be cast in Jyothika’s role.

Many of the top heroines were considered for this coveted role. In fact Kajol was almost sure to do this. Then, there was a talk about Aishwarya Rai but as it has become customary these days for her to refuse good roles, she has done it this time also. As they say, Aishwarya’s loss, Vidya’s gain. Vidya is going to be paired with Akshay Kumar.

The role demands that Vidya learns dance that too Kathak as Priyadarshan is going to cast her as a Bengali dancer. While talking about Vidya, Priyadarshan was mighty impressed with her capabilities as an actress and was sure that she would deliver the goods. He finds that she has come a long way after Parineeta and is making definite progress. Though Parineeta was a period film, this present film would definitely take her to a totally different plane.

Since the role demands that the leading lady be agile and graceful, Vidya fits the bill perfectly especially with her traditional Indian looks. To get the perfect movements, she has been asked to learn Kathak which she is doing currently. Let us all wait for the Hindi ‘Chandramukhi’ to hit the screen soon.
