Nerve-wracking to work with Naseeruddin Shah: Vidya Balan

Actress Vidya Balan, who is all set to share the screen space with veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah yet again in "Begum Jaan", says it's always exciting to work with him.

Vidya Balan told IANS: "I am looking forward to work with Naseer saab. Naseer and me have worked in completely two different worlds in the 'The Dirty Picture' and 'Ishqiya' and this again is a diametrically opposite world. It's always exciting and nerve-wracking to work with him."

She also added that she is "always nervous when I am working with him".

"Begum Jaan" is a Hindi adaptation of Srijit Mukherjee's Bengali classic, which is set against the backdrop of Partition.

Mukherjee will direct the Hindi version too.

The actress will also be seen in thriller film "TE3N" and she says she loves thrillers.

"I love thrillers. I have done quite a few thrillers and fortunately they have all worked well for me. 'TE3N' is again a different film and I have always enjoyed working with Sujoy," she said.

Produced by Sujoy Ghosh, "TE3N" is directed by Ribhu Dasgupta. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles.
