Vidya Balan photographed in Mumbai.
Actress Vidya Balan, who featured in the biopic on Silk Smitha titled
The Dirty Picture, said that she does not want to do such films at the moment.
Vidya received accolades for her performance in
The Dirty Picture, which was directed by Milan Luthria. Since then, the 37-year-old actress has been offered several biopics, including the one on former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, actress Suchitra Sen and Bharat Ratna awardee vocalist MS Subbulakshmi.
"Even I keep hearing. I am not thinking of biopic films. Once I confirm it, I will let you all know," Vidya told PTI.
The
Paa actress will be seen in a special role in a biopic titled
Ek Albela.
"I am not doing any preparation for the film. It's a special appearance. It will release in January," added Vidya.
Vidya will reportedly play the role of veteran actress Geeta Bali in the film.
Ek Albela traces the journey of Bhagwan Dada's film career as an actor and director, and Vidya's role will be credited as a special appearance.
The actress also thinks that the perception towards small budget films is gradually changing.
"There is a change in viewing preferences of audiences in India. Our audience is diverse. There is an appetite for every kind of film. Slowly we are seeing small films in theatres and with festivals like MAMI, things are going to get better. But this won't change overnight. We have come a long way. It is refreshing to see new kind of films coming up," she said.
Vidya attended the closing ceremony of the MAMI Film Festival in Mumbai.
"It's (festival) been incredible this time. It was unbelievable. I have been to MAMI initially and kudos to the team to scaling it up this time, not only in organising events like the opening at Gateway of India and getting mainstream industry folks. I was on the jury and I was amazed with the talent. Also, the selection of films was incredible. We all respond to films as people. I had an amazing time at MAMI this year," added Vidya.(Also Read:
