MUMBAI: Filmmaker Suresh Triveni reunites with Vidya Balan for ‘Jalsa’, a drama-thriller that asks uncomfortable questions. Once again Balan goes behind a mike, this time as a television news anchor and reporter. As seen in the trailer, a hit-and-run accident sets off a chain of events.
By her own admission, this is the first movie in which the National Award-winning actress, best known for her roles in The Dirty Picture, Kahaani, and Shakuntala Devi has explored the greyer shades of a person.

The actress asserted “I enjoyed Sulu. With that film, Suresh Triveni pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me do comedy, which I had never done before. I loved his process and was curious to see what he would do next. I was thrilled that he came to me with his next feature, and the fact that Tumhari Sulu and Jalsa are poles apart was very exciting.
“The pandemic made us view life and the world anew. Before this, neither have I had the opportunity or the guts to play a grey character. Suresh asked me what changed and I said it was a well-written script even before, but now something had changed within me,” she added.
“The story evolves out of the fallout or as a by-product of one incident that destabilizes and challenges the lives of so many people at the same time. It's a web of secrets, lies, and truths. The theme is what if this were you? That’s what drew me to the film,” she asserted.
