 Ekta Kapoor was considering her blue-eyed girl Vidya Balan for their next big project 'Shootout at Wadala'. But after much delay and deliberation she is finally replaced by Kangana Ranaut in the film.
The underworld film to be directed by Sanjay Gupta has John Abraham, Anil Kapoor and Tusshar Kapoor in lead roles. "For quite some time, Vidya Balan was being considered for the female lead, to be paired opposite John Abraham. John plays the character of the notorious gangster Manya Surve and Vidya was to play his girlfriend", says a source closely associated with Balaji Films. 
However it seems like Ekta Kapoor herself was responsible for making Vidya so big with the success of The Dirty Picture that the actress wasn't sure whether she would want to do this role in the male-centric underworld drama. "So she opted out of the project but on a very amicable note and there is absolutely no bad-blood", adds the source. So the makers replaced Vidya by their other favourite - Kangana Ranaut who worked with Balaji in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai.

Mallika Sherawat beats Vidya Balan

Vidya Balan

Vidya Balan

 Actress Mallika Sherawat has beaten Vidya Balan to the finish line of the 'Sexiest Vegetarian Female' poll conducted by PETA. 
The announcement has come as quite a shock as all hopes were pinned on Vidya Balan - especially after her The Dirty Picture act - to win the coveted title. However, representatives of PETA insist that the verdict is solely based on the votes collected. 
Vidya Balan is known to have re-defined 'sexy' and 'hot' after her popular 'dirty act'. But we guess people had their reasons to vote for the oomphy Mallika Sherawat. 

Dhanush successfully bagged the Sexiest Vegetarian Male award, a tag previously enjoyed by Shahid Kapoor. His Kolaveri Di number took the world by storm. However, the simple Dhanush says, "I'm anything but sexy. But if people think I am, I don't know what to say."
