Actresses have proved to be lucky for their directors in the past. There was a time when Indra Kumar could not think of making a film without Madhuri (Dixit) in it. The Chopras considered Sridevi as their lucky mascot. Ram Gopal Varma believed that Urmila brought him the much-needed luck that a director needs to survive in the film industry.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali bestowed the luck factor on Aishwarya Rai. The latest addition to the above names is Vidya Balan. If Vidya's career graph is observed closely, most of the releases that the actress has had till date have been super hits — Parineeta, Lagey Raho Munnabhai, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiya and Guru.
A trade analyst said, "Like Sridevi and Madhuri who were criticised for their bad dress sense, Vidya too has been cornered by the critics. But that has not affected her in anyway as Vidya has dished out hits one after the other. Directors continued to cast Madhuri and Sridevi in their films and the same is the case with Vidya Balan. She is considered to be in top league today.”
Though she is being showered with praises for her looks, Balan is not taking her career for granted and is genuinely working on her style and clothes. A source close to the actress said, "Vidya Balan is working hard on her clothes and designer Sabina Khan is helping her with it." Now with Vidya being declared a lucky mascot and Shahid being the future superstar, will it be any surprise if Kismat Konnection immediately connects at the box-office?
