Vidya Balan's hilariously wholesome anecdote about Sanjay Dutt and her first-ever intimate scene in Parineeta
Trust Vidya Balan to light up the room with her hearty laugh. Vidya Balan and Sanjay Dutt in stills from Parineeta (2005)(Photos: X) The actor recently appeared on an episode of The Hollywood Reporter's THR Talks, hosted by Anupama Chopra. Part and parcel of the conversation involved her bouncing back to a comically bad experience she shared with an actor — who remained unnamed — whom she was supposed to shoot an intimate scene with. "I've had an actor who had Chinese and (winces) didn't brush and then I had an intimate scene with him and I was Do you not have a partner?", she exclaimed. Now given the context of the conversation, it was only fair she revisit the first-ever intimate scene she shot, which was incidentally for her Bollywood debut film Parineeta (2005). The scene involved her and Sanjay Dutt with her playing Lalita and Sanjay playing Girish. She shared, "He (Sanjay) came to me in the morning and he's saying 'Vidya, I am really nervous, I don't know how we're going to do this'. And I'm looking at him thinking, this is Sanjay Dutt (laughs). That itself is quite (laughs again)", quipping, "And then, he's so seasoned, he's telling me in every way (laughs), I couldn't resist that". But Vidya at the time was quick to understand how Sanjay went out of his way to make sure she wasn't feeling the pressure. "But you know, it was his generosity, what he did, was made sure that I felt like he too was nervous, and that took the load off me, because, you know, it was my first intimate scene and I was like, I didn't know my way. You know, you almost feel like you're going to expose a part of you when you're doing something like this". Not just this, Sanjay even came back after having shot the scene to personally check on her. "But that put me at ease and I'll never forget, at the end of the day, he came, knocked on my door and he said, 'are you okay?'. I said, 'yeah, absolutely'. He kissed me on my forehead and left. And that's why Sanjay Dutt is Sanjay Dutt". Looping back to her anecdote about the anonymous actor she added, "And he also smells lovely". Parineeta can be revisited on OTT.

Lokesh Kanagaraj Reveals Why Rajinikanth Shouldn't Do Vikram
Lokesh Kanagraj said that Coolie is part of his cinematic universe and shared insights on whether Kamal Haasan could have taken on this role. Coolie, starring the iconic Rajinikanth, is among the most eagerly awaited big-budget releases of Indian cinema. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, this film marks one of his boldest and most ambitious projects yet. In a recent interview, the filmmaker addressed whether Coolie is part of his cinematic universe and shared insights on whether Kamal Haasan could have taken on this role. Clarifying the status of his upcoming film Coolie, Lokesh Kanagaraj recently spoke with Baradwaj Rangan, putting to rest speculation about its connection to the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). In a clear and concise statement, the director reportedly said, 'This is another standalone film which has nothing to do with my universe." This confirms that, unlike Kamal Haasan's Vikram, Coolie will be a self-contained story with no ties to Lokesh's larger cinematic universe. Did He Want to Cast Kamal Haasan? In a candid conversation, Lokesh Kanagaraj revealed that Kamal Haasan was never in the picture for his film Coolie. However, the director confessed that if it meant bringing together Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan for a project, he'd be willing to go the extra mile. Nevertheless, Lokesh emphasised that Coolie is tailor-made for Rajinikanth's unique style, and similarly, Vikram is perfectly suited for Kamal Haasan's persona. In his opinion, swapping the two actors would not have worked, as each film's essence is deeply tied to its star's presence. He said, 'What's clear to me is why Rajni sir shouldn't do Vikram and Kamal sir shouldn't do Coolie. Because it was written for both of them. It wasn't like they were the only ones who didn't want anyone else doing anything apart from these two. So that wouldn't be fair." In a previous conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Lokesh Kanagaraj shared a fascinating anecdote about Rajinikanth's enthusiasm for Coolie. The director recounted, 'I didn't expect him to say yes. I narrated only the first half and paused at the interval block to ask if he'd be interested. He immediately said yes. I hadn't even written the second half yet. When I returned a couple of months later with the complete script, he loved it." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
