Vidya Balan inspires head Santosh Sivan

There's no denying Vidya Balan is a director's dream. Proof of which is the fact that most filmmakers vouch for the actress who is a powerhouse performer.

After stepping out of her comfort zone and performing a special song for Santosh Sivan's Malayalam venture Urumi, Vidya was offered an impromptu special guest appearance in the film that had the director impressed to no end.

A 5 page Malayalam dialogue was handed to Vidya just minutes before the scene and the star took up the challenge of learning her lines in the limited time frame only to vow everyone with her flawless delivery.

Says a source " Vidya's guest appearance was a spot decision and she was handed the dialogues just over 10 minutes before the scene -she skipped lunch and sat to learn the lines and stunned everyone with her flawless dialogue delivery. She was so good in fact that she moved everyone on the sets."

Santosh Sivan now wants to work on a full fledged film with Vidya Balan who in his opinion is one of the most intense actors he has come across. "Santoshji has often said that Vidya's eyes can convey a thousand words - and after having her as guest in Urumi he is kicked about doing his next film with her" adds the source.
