“There was never anyone else but Vidya Balan for us for Sherni,” say the producers of the film

Vidya Balan is one of the most sought-after actors in Bollywood because of the bold choices she has made in her career. Right from playing Silk Smitha in The Dirty Picture or Vidya Baagchi in Kahaani, a mathematician in her last outing Shakuntala Devi or an RJ in Tumhari Sulu the actress has surprised cinema lovers with every role she does. She has carved a niche for herself and is doing roles which no other actor would have attempted or thought of doing.

Vidya’s versatility, her dedication towards the craft, and her passion for every character she portrays is what got producers Bhushan Kumar and Vikram Malhotra to choose the actress to be the lead in award-winning director Amit Masurkar’s Sherni. In this film, based on the man-animal conflict, we will see Vidya portraying the role of a forest officer which is a first in the Hindi film industry.Sherni, produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vikram Malhotra, and Amit Masurkar will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video from 18th June 2021.
