Vidya refuses Ekta's movie

The actress turns down 'Shootout at Wadala' and wants to work in solo projects

Vidya is all set to do solo roles after the success of 'The Dirty Picture'

It looks like ‘The Dirty Picture’s’ enormous success has ensured one thing. Insiders elaborated the statement with the comment that Vidya won’t ever play second fiddle to a male lead in a movie no matter how interesting she finds the story.

Case in point is the upcoming movie ‘Shootout at Wadala,’ a sequel to 2007’s crime thriller ‘Shootout at Lokhandwala.’ It is believed that Vidya had initially agreed to act in the movie after overcoming her hesitation to work with John Abraham, who she had allegedly romanced and worked with five years ago in the film ‘Salaam-E-Ishq.’
Later Vidya completely pulled out from the project, surprising the cast and crew of ‘Shootout at Wadala.’ The reason was clear enough. Her movie ‘The Dirty Picture’ had been declared a blockbuster and her solo performance had won every critic’s and fan’s praise. Naturally Vidya didn’t want to be overshadowed by men in a male centric movie.

Although her sudden refusal to work on ‘Shooout…’ which is produced by Ekta could have strained her relationship with Ekta, a source maintains that there was no bitterness between the ladies because Ekta understood Vidya’s need to work more on solo projects than multi-starrers.
We have heard and witnessed for ages that success can blind people so we hope that Vidya is safe with her shades on!
