The tough war between Priyanka and Vidya for Bhandarkar’s next!

Priyanka Chopra and Vidya Balan

Madhur Bhandarkar is presently working on ‘Heroine’. His next movie is said to be a political thriller, based upon the politics in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. He is confused between Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra to play the politician’s role.

A close friend of the filmmaker told, “Vidya would suit the role of the mature politician but after working with Priyanka, Bhandarkar has developed a very good professional rapport with her as well. So let’s see which girl wins the race.”

Explaining the character of the politician, she is a woman from the northern part of the country, who is very vulnerable. However, within a short span of five years, she develops into a bold and conniving woman, who survives in the political world.

“Political films are Madhur’s forte. His 2003 Satta based in Mumbai, received critical acclaim,” told the friend.

Bhandarkar’s friend also said, “Madhur is talking to UTV Motion Pictures and Eros International for this one. Both the corporate houses have shown a lot of interest in the project.”

If all goes well, the movie will roll in December 2012.
