'Ever since The Dirty Picture occurred, Vidya Balan is in huge demand. The most recent news has it that the organizers of an event are ready to shell out Rs 50 to 75 lakh on Vidya, for her one act.

Now that the season of award functions has begun, Vidya Balan' name is in almost all the lists of most wanted actresses to perform at these events.

In 2011, Vidya was nowhere in the lists of any events. According to a close source, “While Vidya is a very good actress; she was far from being the glamour girl.

She was not perceived as ‘oomphy' as Kareena, Katrina, Deepika, Priyanka or even Anushka when it comes to performing on stage.”

The source included, “Apart from being approached to perform on the ‘Ooh la la' and ‘Naaka mukka' tracks, she's also being offered a handsome fee, averaging to about Rs 50 lakh per event.”

Confirming the news, Mohammed Morani, one of the top event organisers tells “A chartbusting song and a super hit film is what is required of a star for the award functions.”
