Vidya Balan is back! As an aspiring Hyderabadi woman detective in director Samar Shaikh’s “Bobby Jasoos.” The first look of the film was recently revealed at an event in Mumbai. Produced by Dia Mirza, Sahil Sangha and Reliance Entertainment, the film has Vidya playing the central character with Ali Fazal playing the male lead.
For the role of a female detective in the movie, Vidya has tried 122 looks during shooting of the film, reported Hindustan Times.
Apparently, she invested two weeks to decide on the various looks required to enact the role. “She underwent 122 changes, out of which around 12 were shortlisted. Each one required her to wear a different costume and sport complementing make-up. She would try six to eight looks every day and was extremely patient while selecting which ones fit the narrative of the story,” says a source close to the film’s team.
Some of the looks tried by Vidya were of a dabbawala, a peon, a teacher and a fisher-woman among others.
Film producer, Dia Mirza, also commented on this long process of shortlisting: “It was one fun-filled experience of discoveries and experiments. Our costume designer Theia Tekchandaney and our make-up artiste Vidyadhar worked tirelessly to conjure images that would be entertaining to watch, whilst remaining in sync with the demands of the script. I am thrilled and wowed by the many transformations of the versatile Vidya Balan.”
The trailer of the film will be launched by the end of this month and the film will be released on July 4, 2014.
