Vidya Balan is known for playing strong female protagonists in a lot of her films, but she says it has never been a conscious decision.
“I am the centre of the universe for me and I am a woman. So women-centric films veer towards me and I veer towards them. I am very happy with the roles I have been getting but it was never a conscious decision,” said Balan.
She will next be seen in Kahaani 2, out in the UAE on December 1, the second instalment of the 2012 hit film Kahaani.

“It is not a sequel. We are trying to take the genre of Kahaani forward. It is a different story. For us a good story and good storytelling is Kahaani,” director Sujoy Ghosh said.
Besides Balan, the film also features actor Arjun Rampal, who plays a police officer.

The actor said her character in the film looks simple but is complicated.
“I like such characters who are unpredictable and unreadable,” she said.
“Initially, I said why should we make Kahaani 2 but then later on, when this script came, I realised if there was a second film it had to be this one. I was completely convinced that this is the story we want to make a film on,” added Balan.
