“It’s difficult not to let the character you play impact you,” says Vidya Balan

Ever since beginning her Bollywood journey with Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 2005 production Parineeta, Vidya Balan has portrayed a wide variety of characters on celluloid. Today, she is considered one of the finest actresses working in the Hindi film industry, whose credits includes such notable films as Paa (2009), No One Killed Jessica (2011), The Dirty Picture (2011), Kahaani (2012), Tumhari Sulu (2017), Mission Mangal (2019), Shakuntala Devi (2020), and Sheri (2021).

When asked if she takes back anything from her character or if they educate her in any way, Balan told a newswire, “Yeah absolutely. It is like you always take back something after you have an interaction with another individual. It is the same. You live this person’s life for one and a half months or two or maybe more because you start prep before that.”


The National Film Award-winning actress went on to add that it’s difficult not to get impacted by a character. “So, I almost stay with one character for at least four months. So, it’s difficult not to let that character impact you. I feel sometimes, you can articulate how the characters touched your life or changed you and sometimes you can’t but there is always it changes for me,” she signed off.

Vidya Balan has not announced any film after the release of Sherni. But if reports are to be believed, she is reteaming with producer Vikram Malhotra for their third consecutive collaboration after Shakuntala Devi and Sherni.

Nothing much is known about the untitled project at the moment except that it is a quirky comedy-drama, to be directed by Tumhari Sulu director Suresh Triveni. Talented actress Shefali Shah is also rumoured to be playing an important role in it. An official announcement is highly awaited.

Alia Bhatt's 'Alpha' stands apart from other spy films with its ‘wolf ki beti’ mystery

Highlights

  • The first teaser of Alpha introduces Alia Bhatt as a trained assassin shaped by violence from an early age.
  • The “wolf ki beti” reference hints at a spy origin story rather than a conventional mission-based thriller.
  • Bobby Deol appears to play her father, suggesting a central family conflict.
  • The film arrives in cinemas worldwide on July 3, 2026.

A different kind of spy enters the YRF universe

The first teaser for Alpha offers more than a glimpse of Alia Bhatt in action mode. It appears to introduce a new kind of protagonist to the YRF Spy Universe — one whose journey begins long before her first mission.

Unlike franchise heroes such as Tiger, Pathaan and Kabir, who entered the universe as established operatives, Bhatt's character seems to have been raised and trained for a life shaped by violence. The teaser repeatedly points towards an origin story, with the phrase “wolf ki beti” suggesting a daughter following a path laid out long before adulthood.
