Film director Sujoy Ghosh feels honoured that Big B lent his voice to the song "Ekla Cholo Re" for his "Kahaani" but he doesn't want to exploit the megastar's love by asking him to be part of the video.

"Yes, we have thought of a music video but Amitabh Bachchan has already done a huge favour to me by lending his voice. It is generous of him. It would be wrong to exploit Mr. Bachchan's love," Ghosh said.

With Vidya Balan in the role of a pregnant woman in search of her missing husband, "Kahaani" is scheduled for a March 9 release.

Talking about his lead actress, Ghosh revealed, "For me, Vidya comes first, then my film. I wanted to work with Vidya for quite some time so finally we got the perfect script and went ahead."

The pregnant woman’s act is natural for me: Vidya Balan

If she naturally essayed the role of a sex symbol in 'The Dirty Picutre', it was a cakewalk to play a pregnant woman in search of her husband in 'Kahaani', tells Vidya Balan.

'It was not tough at all. During our college life, we all friends used to do all the nautankis and these stand-up items. And my favourite role would always be of a pregnant woman. So the walk and all came to me very naturally,' Vidya, 33, said journalists here.

Vidya ruled Bollywood as Silk last year and it seems she wants to take it forward with 'Kahaani' as she is aggressively promoting the film. If she dressed like her character for the promotion of 'The Dirty Picture', the actress appeared with a baby bump at the 'Kahaani' promotional event.

'Kahaani', scheduled to release March 9, is not the first movie to feature her as a mother -- in 'Paa' and 'Heyy Babyy' too she had played a mom.

Besides her hard work, Vidya can't stop admiring director Sujoy Ghosh's efforts and told, 'He is very energetic. We managed to shoot continuously for 64 days without any break. Sujoy would not let the mood drop.'

Vidya, who started her career with Pradeep Sarkar and went on to work with acclaimed directors like Priyadarshan, R. Balakrishnan and Abhishek Chaubey, hasn't got an opportunity to repeat her directors.

When asked about this, she told, 'I don't make any rules. I would be happy to work with the directors with whom I have already worked. Few times it didn't work out. May be in future I will work with them. I am very greedy.'

Her recent was with director Milan Luthria - they teamed up for 'The Dirty Picture' and the movie became a smash hit.

It’s just her 6th year in B-Town, but Vidya has been seen in different moods, in different shades in the movies. She loves to experiment and portray different characters instead of being an archetypal heroine. Vidya wants people to remember her as an actress, with her roles and not just as Vidya Balan.

Vidya prefers to be known for her work and not just as an individual. She loves doing a variety of characters of different ranges, and so she never has to fear of getting stereotype. She does not hold the opinion that only big budget movies can do well. In the past Vidya was censured for her dressing styles and being a bit over-weight. But Vidya has proved that acting is nowhere related to one's body size, it’s much more than one's figure. Vidya exclaims that women should be proud of their body, and should not try to hide it.

Women are meant to be curvaceous and should not run after the size zero trends. She is hogging into the limelight these days for her hot avatar in "Dirty Pictures" and Vidya tells that she picks up those roles with which she can identify and bond herself in real.

All the roles which she has portrayed till date have taught her new things. She has got to explore herself every-time. She concludes by saying she is fond of such roles which are lifelike and true and honest.
