Vidya Balan Recalls Her Struggling Days: ‘Look at Her, Does She Look Like a Heroine?’

She went to say that once she was sued for leaving a Tamil film as it was a sex comedy and that was not something she had signed up for.

Talking about her journey in Bollywood, Vidya said, “There was that phase when I was not getting the kind of work I wanted to be doing. I thought maybe my career has been a fluke. I was not good in these films, Heyy Babyy and Kismat Konnection”.

Vidya was last seen in mathematician Shakuntala Devi’s biopic. The film is based on the life of the late Shakuntala Devi, who is widely revered as the human-computer for her innate ability to make complex calculations within seconds. She played the titular role in the film. Sanya Malhotra portrays the character of Shakuntala’s daughter Anupama. The film also features Amit Sadh and Jisshu Sengupta in important roles. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the makers of the film opted for an OTT release and the movie premiered on Amazon Prime Video on July 31.

Vidya will be next seen in Sherni. The project will be directed by Amit Masurkar. The movie also stars Ila Arun, Sharat Saxena and Vijay Raaz in crucial roles.
