Vidya Balan looks for captivating roles
Acknowledged for her power-packed performances and diverse roles in Hindi cinema, Vidya Balan has long been celebrated as one of Hindi Cinema’s most agile actors. From essaying emotionally layered characters to women-centric stories, Vidya has carved a unique space for herself.
But as of now, the actress sets up to her horizons—beyond national borders.
In a recent interview with Vidya opened up on her desire to portray captivating roles around the world. She apparently made it known that she wanted to look into projects abroad that would provide the same level of complexity and depth for which she is renowned in India.
She loves to play (a character like) the therapist in Adolescence. That’s on the top of her mind at this point. She would love to do comedy and loved Kate Winslet in The Regime. She also loves the work Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon are doing,” she said.
Given her body of work, it is not that the Tumhari Sulu star is interested in foreign films. When Vidya thought back on her previous roles, she emphasised her role as a single mother in Paa, where she raises a child with Progeria (played by Amitabh Bachchan).
She also opened up on her endearing portrayal of a housewife turned radio jockey in Tumhari Sulu and her role as the title mathematical genius in Shakuntala Devi.
Adding that in each of these films, there was an opportunity for her to do something different as an actor.
They were well
fleshed-out characters, and yet they were great scripts and very engaging, entertaining films underscoring her preference for roles that offer both substance and storytelling.
In a recent Cannes interview, she expressed her eagerness to take on internationally complex and layered characters.
