Tabu and Vidya for 'Urmi'!

With her age-old beauty (no pun intended) and dancing prowess, it seems like Vidya Balan is made to fit into period flick Urmi.

Directed by Santosh Sivan, the actress was approached to perform a number for the movie in the traditional South Indian dance style, Mohiniattam, choreographed by dance director Ulhas. Apparently Sivan was so impressed with her work, that he ended up roping her in for an extended part in the 15th Century movie based on the story of Vasco Da Gama's death.

Apart from Genelia D'Souza and Prabhudeva playing protagonists, Vidya is accompanied by many more names in the cast who are part of the movie, including Tabu, who promises to inspire awe in a dance sequence choreographed by Ahmed Khan.
