As
we are all aware, Deepa Mehta's Water has been nominated as
one of the five films in the Best Foreign Films category at
the Oscars this year. And while we all await the Oscar Awards
ceremony on February 25th, Deepa has moved on and is focussing
on her next venture. She has roped in Vidya Balan and R. Madhavan
for her next project. Titled Stella, the film will be a comedy
centered around Vidya and Maddy with Vidya playing the character
of a nanny. Incidentally, Vidya and Maddy played a couple
in Mani Rathnam's Guru as well. However, Deepa had Vidya and
Madhavan in her mind while scripting the film itself. And
after seeing them in Guru, she is doubly confident of her
choice. Here is another chance for Vidya and Maddy to work
with another powerhouse of talent. They will just hope that
they get more scope this once after the nominal presence in
Guru, what say?
