The actor hasn't been able to resolve her date and monetary issues...

Vidya Balan, who was last in Mohit Suri's Hamari Adhuri Kahani starring Emraan Hashmi, has been away from films for a bit. In the meantime, she has been reading a lot of scripts and spending time with her family. She was offered quite a few films during this period, including one Malayalam film. To be directed by Kamal, the film was going to be about the life of the internationally acclaimed Indian writer Kamala Surayya aka Madhavikutty. However, we can now confirm that she has turned down the offer as the dates were clashing with her film with Sujoy Ghosh.

While we know that Vidya is part of two films that Sujoy is making, TE3N and Durga Rani Singh, we aren't sure which film's dates are clashing with the Malayalam film. Sujoy Ghosh and Vidya Balan had a fall out after Kahaani and they have just sorted their differences, so she would obviously not want to complicate things further!

TE3N is a thriller, also reportedly stars Amitabh Bachchan and Nawazzudin Siddique. While in Durga Rani Singh, Vidya is all set to replace Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. If you remember, Vidya had backed out of this same movie citing health issues. The film was then handed to Kangana and later on Aishwarya. But, now Vidya will be essaying the role.
