Actress Vidya Balan has packed releases in 2017 but she isn’t complaining and in fact enjoys being busy. Vidya has three releases in 2017, - "Tumhari Sulu", "Aami" -- a yet untitled biopic on writer Kamala Das -- and "Begum Jaan".
Vidya said she loved being busy but needed time for herself between business.
“I need down time because I get so intensely involved in what I do, specially a film shoot... Then I need time to get back to being just Vidya after a promotional schedule also. I love it, I thrive on it,” Vidya told IANS.
The talented actress added that she needed to do unrelated work to retain her sanity. She said it helped her come back with full force.
The 37-year-old actress, who was recently seen in "Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh" helmed by Sujoy Ghosh, is for now gearing up for her myriad roles on screen.
In "Tumhari Sulu", Vidya will be seen playing a radio jockey (RJ) named Sulochana, fondly known as Sulu.
"Begum Jaan", a Hindi adaptation of Srijit Mukherji's stellar Bengali offering Rajkahini, will feature Vidya as a brothel's madam in Punjab during India's partition in 1947. Though actress Rituparna Sengupta essayed the lead role in the Bengali version, Mukherji's first choice for the adaptation was Vidya.
She will also be seen portraying the life of writer Kamala Das aka Kamala Surayya onscreen in her upcoming biopic "Aami".
