Vidya was the only choice for MS Subbulakshmi's bio pic
After all the hoopla about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan being offered the Rajiv Menon's MS Subbulakshmi biopic ,it is learnt that Vidya Balan was the first and the only choice for the role.According to the open magazine column of Rajeev masand,
"Just days after it was learnt that Vidya Balan had signed on to star in filmmaker Rajiv Menon’s biopic of Carnatic music legend MS Subbulakshmi, news was floated that Aishwarya Rai had been approached for the part before her. Unnamed sources close to Aishwarya revealed that the actress wasn’t excited about the role and hence turned it down, making way for Vidya to step in.
However, Menon, who directed Aishwarya in Kandukondain Kandukondain, has reportedly said Vidya was his only choice for this film. The director famously shares a warm friendship with Aishwarya, and was in talks to direct her in an Abhimaan remake with her husband Abhishek Bachchan, but has since moved on to the Subbulakshmi project after that film fell through "
