Vidya Balan, the box-office queen and the star of successful streaming releases like Sherni and Jalsa, is all set to make her big-screen comeback with the upcoming murder-mystery film Neeyat, which reunites her with her Shakuntala Devi director Anu Menon. Vidya’s last theatrical release was 2019’s Mission Mangal.
In Neeyat, she plays a detective named Mira Rao, who investigates a murder at a billionaire’s party in the Scottish countryside. When the billionaire Ashish Kapoor (Ram Kapoor) is murdered, the suspicion falls on his family and friends, each of whom is harboring their own secrets. The suspects are played by Rahul Bose, Shahana Goswami, Prajakta Koli, Neeraj Kabi, Shashank Arora and others. Vidya’s Mira Rao shows up to investigate, and immediately begins interrogating the suspects. She finds that each of them had resentments against Ashish Kapoor, and had reasons to harm him.
About her character, Vidya said in a statement, “In Neeyat, Mira Rao is not your classic, everyday detective, which is what made it fun for me. Also, not only did I get a chance to sink my teeth into an unusual and quirky character, but I also got to work with a powerful set of co-actors"
Neeyat is slated to release in theatres on July 7th 2023. It will also stream on Amazon Prime Video after its theatrical run.
