Actress Vidya Balan was praised for her role in "Ishqiya",
but the actress had walked out when she was narrated the script, says filmmaker
Vishal Bhardwaj.
During a panel discussion held by &Priv HD, Bhardwaj
told the audience how Vidya left halfway through the narration of the film
"Ishqiya", read a statement
Bhardwaj had invited Vidya to hear the
script, written by himself and Abhishek Chaubey.
"She came to my office,
and I told her you should hear it from the director (Abhishek Chaubey) to get
the confidence. She read the first half and then, I wasn't there, she left
saying there was some important work that had come up. I thought we had written
such a bad script that she left and made up an excuse to leave," Bhardwaj said.
Vidya had a work commitment to attend to and returned immediately after her
commitment was over, an hour later.
The actress said: "I thought I was
being honest and told him (Abhishek) that I had some place to go to and I'll be
back in an hour, and left. I then got a call from Vishal asking if I didn't like
the script and told him how I've only read the first half and like it thus far,
and that I'm going back to read the rest of the script."
