The 35-year-old actress is often credited for breaking stereotypes of a Hindi film heroine with her powerful performance in films like 'Paa', 'Ishqiya', 'No One Killed Jessica', 'The Dirty Picture' and 'Kahaani'.
But Vidya is happy to step out of her power-woman mode and with her comedy debut as over-the-top, bubbly housewife in Rajkumar Gupta directed movie.
"I am glad that I am not playing the protagonist in 'Ghanchakkar'. I have done it before so many times. This is Emraan's film. He is the main lead here. And I am very happy and comfortable with it. It gives me more scope to perform. I can be free and not feel any pressure about it," Vidya told PTI in an interview over phone from Mumbai.
"The only take away for women from this film is that it is about a housewife, who is very happy with herself. She does not care about her weight, her habits, her looks. According to her she is the best and there is a certain amount of confidence in her," said Vidya, who was a part of the Cannes Film Festival jury recently.
'Ghanchakkar', a comedy thriller, has been produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Vidya's husband Siddharth Roy Kapur. The film will hit theatres on June 28.
