Video: Vidya Balan shines with her fierce avatar in Begum Jaan trailer

Mumbai: Vidya Balan's 'Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh' might not have done great business at the box office but the actress' performance in the film was applauded.

Now, Vidya has moved over to another film and the powerhouse of talent looks intriguingly intense as she dons the role of a madame in a brothel in the new trailer of 'Begum Jaan'.

Kohl-rimmed fierce-looking eyes, hair let loose and a devil-may-care attitude, Vidya’s look for this film, set in the partition era, reminds us of her daring persona in ‘Dirty Picture’.

If not more, she has brought the same the level of intensity in her character with her eyes doing all the bashing. Winner already!

The film is a Hindi adaptation of the Bengali movie, 'Rajkahini', and will see Vidya playing the role of a brothel’s madam during the partition of India. The film, featuring Naseeruddin Shah and Gauahar Khan in key roles, is slated to release on April 14.

The film also stars Ila Arun, Pallavi Sharda, Rajit Kapoor and others.
