“I keep getting offers form Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi and Bengali filmmakers. I have been excited some of the scripts, but the dates haven’t matched yet,” Balan told IANS .

“Some scripts I have really liked but because of time, I have not been able to do them. Hopefully, sometime in future, I will do an interesting film in any one of the languages,” she added.

Currently seen as a detective in ‘Bobby Jasoos’, the actress is happy that women-centric films are doing well at the box office.

“It’s fantastic if a good film works — you feel good. It’s not about every women-centric film working, but a good film will always work. It’s not that easy for women-centric films to get good openings, so when it works it’s a huge thing,” Balan said.
