Bollywood actress Vidya Balan will be seen playing role of a police officer in Sujoy Ghosh's film "Te3n." It will be the first time that she will play the role of a cop onscreen.

The 37-year-old actress, known for her powerful performance in movies like "Kahaani" and "Dirty Picture," revealed Friday that she would be playing a small but important role in the film.

"I am playing a cop in the film. It's a special appearance, but I was excited about doing it because it's a fabulous script," she said, according to The Indian Express.

The "Parineeta" actress said that "Te3n" was different from her previous thriller movie "Kahaani," which was also shot in Kolkata.

"This is not 'Kahaani'. Its story is very different and I'm enjoying it. I have been shooting in Kolkata and I actually love shooting there. Many from the team are the same who had worked on Kahaani," she said, according to IBN Live.

Balan also said that she was excited to work with Amitabh Bachchan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the movie. Vidya and Amitabh earlier worked on the 2009 hit movie "Paa," while she worked with Nawaz in Sujoy Goshi's "Kahaani."

"Te3n," directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, is a thriller set in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata. Sujoy Goshi is producing the film, which is expected to hit the theatres in 2016, according to The Hindustan Times.

Bachchan recently shared pictures on his social media accounts from the sets of the movie. Check out some of these pictures below.
