After bagging bold characters and dramatic thrillers like 'Silk' in 'The Dirty Picture' and 'Vidya Bagchi' in 'Kahani', Padma Shree awardee Vidya Balan is ready for yet another challenging role.

At the book launch of 'Raakshas-India's No.1 Serial Killer' by Piyush Jha, the National award winning actress revealed that she would be playing a 'cop' for the first time in Sujoy Ghosh's upcoming film, 'Teen'.

The 37-year old actress mentioned that the film has an amazing script and she is happy to work with the Bollywood legends like Amitabh Bachchan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

The film, directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, features megastar Mr. Bachchan and Nawazuddin in pivotal roles. The movie, which is set in Kolkata, is expected to hit the screens in 2016.

Vidya further mentioned how interesting it was for her to shoot in Kolkata with the same team as of 'Kahani'.
