Vidya Balan

She may have emerged as a 'shero' following hits like 'The Dirty Picture' (2011) and 'Kahaani' (2012), someone who has given a strong push to women-centric films, but she hardly has any project in her kitty currently. Sources suggest that she wants to play it slow, given that her last few releases — 'Ghanchakkar' (2013), 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects' (2014), 'Bobby Jasoos' (2014) and 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani' (2015) — failed to set off fireworks at the box office. There are rumours that she might star in a biopic on Suchitra Sen and also play Geeta Bali in a film inspired by legendary actor Bhagwan Dada, but there is no official confirmation from Vidya's end. The actress apparently wants to stay away from biopics.
