Vidya Balan to play pregnant woman in 'Kahaani'

Vidya Balan has revealed that she is to play a heavily-pregnant woman in her next film.

The actress was last seen taking the lead role in the controversial biopic of South Indian star Silk Smitha.

Balan told New Kerala: "In Kahaani, I play a pregnant woman and it's a mystery. But I can't say anything more at this point about the film.

"Nonetheless, I enjoyed playing a pregnant woman. I am glad that I am getting the opportunities to essay different characters. I am fortunate that I am getting to play characters like Sabrina [No One Killed Jessica], Silk [The Dirty Picture] and Vidya Bagchi [Kahaani]."

The star added: "I am a very greedy actor. I want to play different people, I want to do different kinds of films. So even if the man or the hero is the central protagonist, as long as I have enough to do, I am more than happy. Also let me clarify, money is more than welcome."

In November, Balan admitted that playing the 1980s actress in The Dirty Picture had been her toughest role so far.
