Vidya Balan and Sujoy Ghosh kiss and make up in

-

THEIR brief fallout after Kahaani put a question on the future of the sequel, but Vidya Balan and Sujoy Ghosh reunited for part two and the actress says the movie was probably destined to happen with them.

“We were not talking to each other due to, I don’t know, some kind of miscommuni­cation. But I think with Sujoy and me that’s very understand­able because we either get along famously or we don’t.

So, we should just focus on today,” Vidya said with a laugh when asked about her tiff with Sujoy.

Apart from Kahaani 2, which just wrapped, Vidya is doing a special role in Sujoy’s production TE3N, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

“Maybe Kahaani 2 was meant to be with Sujoy and me. Therefore, we patched it up. We put in all we had. Let’s see what’s in store.”

The actress, 38, says she did TE3N for the joy of working with Bachchan and Siddiqui. “I love the thriller genre. It had Sujoy and Kolkata besides Bachchan and Nawaz in lead roles. I knew there was not much for me but I did it for the joy of it.”

Balan, who will be next seen in Marathi movie Albela in the role of actress Geeta Bali of yesteryear, says she had slowed down the pace of her work recently due to a health issue.

The actress is now back with a number of movies such as Begum Jaan, a biopic on the author Kamla Das, and Kahaani 2.

“I only slowed down because I had some health issues which I had to focus on. But I am back to full throttle.”

The actress says she has her own pace when it comes to doing movies.

“Thankfully, I never had to wait for interestin­g roles. Since 2007, when I started making different choices, there has been no dearth of good roles.

“I just work at my own pace and pick roles that challenge me.”
