Vidya Balan Prefers To Have A Son Like Abhishek Bachchan In Real Life  Vidya Balan |
Bollywood actress Vidya Balan, who dons the role of Amitabh Bachchan’s mother in Paa, has mentioned that Abhishek Bachchan’s behaviour towards Big B was so impressive that she would love to have a son like the Junior Bachchan in her real life.
"I would prefer a son like Abhishek. I have seen him with his father on the sets... he was so nice to his father that I was touched," said Vidya while talking to the media.
Directed by R. Balakrishnan's ‘Paa’ is an emotional story of a father-son relationship. where Amitabh would be essaying the role of Abhishek's 13-year-old son Auro who is suffering from a rare disease progeria, that accelerates ageing. The film releases Dec 4.
"The film is all about Auro and all through the film there is a certain sensibility about Auro, but no sympathy is shown towards the 13-year-old progeric child in the film," said Vidya.
When the director approached her for the role, she wasn't sure about playing the mother of a progeric child. "Initially, I wondered how to do the role as I didn't have that motherly instinct. But while working on the film I realised what motherhood is," said Vidya.
She says playing Amitabh's mother wasn't difficult at all. "I was a bit concerned initially but it was smooth sail once we started working together."
Asked if it wasn't a risk to play a mother so early in her career, she said: "I didn't see any risk, rather it was a lifetime opportunity to get to work in such a wonderful film."
