Vidya Balan Sizzles in Black at Big fm Radio studio. Her work on screen is freshly new and includes one of the most acclaimed performances on film of the last 30 years. Vidya Balan has had a debut that most newcomers would only have dreamt of. She is a whiff of fresh air compared to the stereotypical skimpily clad leading ladies of today. She has the advantage of having made her entry with a classic. The departure from the routine has paid off, too.

An exhilarated Vidhu Vinod Chopra adds, “It is a wonderful surprise. What makes me happy is that it is a great inspiration for newcomers and fresh talented people who have a fire in their belly to make a mark in this industry. Abhijaat Joshi (screenplay) and Swanand Kirkire’s (lyricist) work getting acknowledged makes Raju and me very proud.” After four prestigious awards and world recognition, even Raj Kumar Hirani cannot stay shut. “I am happy that a film based on the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi wins the award for wholesome entertainment. It is a big achievement for my team and me. My associates, Abhijaat Joshi, and Swanand Kirkire’s awards make this moment even greater,” expresses Hirani.

The music and lyrics have been a revelation in itself. “I might be the one who has won the award but this was a collaborative and collective piece of work. I am grateful to Vinod Chopra, Rajkumar Hirani and Shantanu Moitra for bringing out the best in me and and for creating the atmosphere where one can strive for excellence,” says an exhilarated Swanand Kirkire.
