Vidya Balan has turned producer with her first short film, Natkhat. The actress shared the first look of her debut short film. She is not only producing the film, but will also be seen playing the lead role.
In the poster, Vidya can be seen in a desi look wearing a saree and lost in her thoughts, while a kid can be seen standing in front of her. The shooting of the film was completed last year.
Sharing the poster, Vidya Balan wrote, "Ek kahaani sunoge...? Presenting the first look of my first short film as producer and also as an actor #Natkhat (sic)."
Produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Vidya Balan, Natkhat is directed by Shaan Vyas. The actress-turned-producer announced the short film in July last year. Taking to social media, Vidya had shared a photo of the clapperboard of the film. She wrote, "I'm happy and excited to share that a few days ago, I did my first short film as an actor... The film is called Natkhat and has me in a new role....that of producer.... I never had plans to turn producer but the story written by Annukampa Harsh and Shaan Vyas propelled me in that direction...Can't wait to share it with my world and hoping that it speaks to you like it did to me (sic)."
Apart from Natkhat, Vidya Balan will also be seen in Anu Menon's Shakuntala Devi: Human Computer. The actress is playing the titular role of math wizard Shakuntala Devi in the film. Shakuntala Devi was earlier scheduled to release on May 8, but due to the ongoing lockdown, the makers decided to postponed the film. However, recently, the producers decided to premiere the film on Amazon Prime Video instead of theatres.
