Roles
Vidya Balan's woman-centric roles
Vidya Balan is known for doing female-centric roles; she has been seen carrying the entire burden of most of the films she does. With Vidya playing one of the most powerful women in the history of India, one can be sure she would do justice to the role. We seriously can't wait. And, dear reader, neither can you!
