After having played the good homely roles, and having attempted a not very glam look.

The classic beauty Vidya Balan has joined the list of talent that wills to be cast into newer, challenging roles.

For which, this time she dons the previously unexplored, in her short but successful spell at Box office, bad girl role.

Scheming, cursing, turning vile... even playing filthy games of love, Balan is all set to out do her previously set positive protagonist image in the industry.

Her upcoming film with Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah, titled Ishqiya, is a third of daringly rustic ventures from Vishal Bhardwaj, after the success of Omkara and more recently Kaminey.
