Director Pradeep Sarkar being the mentor of Vidya Balan didn’t take it too lightly when she turned him down for the role Rani Mukherji later played in ‘Laaga Chunari Mein Daag. But after a gap of five years, the actress and the director are patching up by working together in an advert.

Both put their differences aside by hugging one another during an ad movie shoot for a popular hair company that Vidya endorses, claims a resource.”Pradeep was the director of the ad movie and Vidya was at first nervous about working with him again since he was worried along with her. They bonded just like they used to and it’s safe to say – all is well between them,” the source, present on the set, said.

The two shared a deep-rooted connection that developed while working on the director’s debut project ‘Parineeta’ – a movie that received Sarkar a National prize.
