Mumbai, Sep 12 (PTI) Bollywood actress Vidya Balan has ventured into Marathi film industry with a special appearance in a biopic on the late actor-director Bhagwan Dada.
The 37-year-old "Bobby Jasoos" actress will play the golden era actress Geeta Bali in the film, which traces the Bhagwan Dada's life and the difficulties he faced while making his musical "Albela".
"Albela", a 1951 film, starred Bhagwan Dada and Bali in the lead.

The biopic is directed by Shekhar Sartandel.
