Vidya Balan Discusses Early Career Setbacks and Role in Tamil Film Jailer 2
Actress Vidya Balan shared that early in her career, she was labeled 'jinxed' after several Tamil and Malayalam film projects, including one with Mohanlal, were shelved or she was replaced. This led to missed opportunities and a temporary reluctance to work in South Indian cinema. She also revealed losing a role in the Tamil film Kaala due to scheduling conflicts. Balan expressed gratitude for her recent role in Tamil film Jailer 2 with Rajinikanth, attributing past setbacks to timing rather than other factors.
