Vidya Balan gets a gift from her Tumhari Sulu director

Trailer of Vidya Balan’s upcoming film Tumhari Sulu released some time ago. The film is directed by Suresh Triveni who has made a special oil painting of Vidya’s poster and gifted it to her recently

The image of a happy empowered Sulu (Vidya Balan), raring to go, in a pink sari with a red cape around her neck, has become popular. Recently Twinkle Khanna also complimented Vidya and wrote on Twitter: “more power to your sari/cape.”

Suresh Triveni got one of Bollywood’s oldest poster artists, Laxman Subhash Jadhav, to make an oil painting of the poster and gifted it to his actress.

Vidya says, “Tumhari Sulu has been a wonderful journey to say the least. The character of Sulu is extra special – a curious, fun-loving and enthusiastic housewife who goes from apron to cape. When Suresh gifted me this painting, I was delighted and put it up on my wall almost immediately. It is a treasured gift.”

Suresh says, “I saw many paintings of Vidya’s earlier film posters at her house. That’s where the greed started. I wanted Sulu to be a part of her wall of fame. I have been dying to work with her for the longest. Doing Tumhari Sulu has been a dream come true.”

Tumhari Sulu also stars Manav Kaul, Neha Dhupia and others and is set to release on November 24.
