Vidya Balan and Sonali Bendre Bahl always begin the New Year with a bang. January 1 spells birthday time. Vids turns 40. As it is a landmark year, we can safely assume she will be party-hearty. Last year, she had a theme party at her Juhu home and guests were asked to wear funky headgear.

On the work front, Vidya Balan will be seen portraying the role of NTR's wife Basavatarakam. Apart from Vidya and Balakrishna, the film also stars Rana Daggubati who will be playing NTR’s son-in-law and the current CM of Andhra Pradesh, Nara Chandrababu Naidu. The film also stars Jishu Sengupta, Prakash Jha and Kaikala Satyanarayan in pivotal roles.
