Vidya Balan is all set to show that she can handle the role of a cunning wicked girl too with ease.

Though she is still constantly nailed down by the critics for her poor dancing skills and bad dressing sense, the actress is not bothered.

She has learned to take all the extra packages that come with the profession of being a heroine in Bollywood with a smile.

In a role that she has not tried before and one that could change the way the film world and film lovers look on Vidya, she has been finalized for a role having negative shades in the film 'Ishqiya'.

The film is to be directed by Abhishek Choubey and is a story that takes place in a small relatively unknown north Indian town.

She plays the role of a con-woman who is into tricking the two leading male actors in the film.

The experience will be definitely making Vidya a more matured actress for a particular reason that Naseeruddin Shah is one of the lead actors opposite Vidya.

The other actor opposite Vidya is Arshad Warsi who is to play the character of Nasseruddin's nephew in the hard-hitting drama.

 In the film, the character of Vidya will be seen two-timing the two male actors.

Vidya, we sure know the capabilities of you as an actress, but are not able to visualize you doing a character of a girl who hides dirty intentions under the cover of beauty.

This may be precisely what the director must have thought before deciding to cast Vidya in the role.

The curiosity this new role of Vidya will generate and the way in which the talented lass will carry it off is something to be seen.
