Mumbai, April 2: Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, who is all set to make a film on women's empowerment for T Series, was keen to sign Vidya Balan for the lead role.
"My first choice for the film was Vidya Balan. But had Vidya not done 'Kahaani' before, then she would have done this film. But I would certainly come with a script in future which would justify her," Agnihotri, who directed films like "Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal", told Ians.
"Now we have approached some other actresses...Let's see how things fall in place," he added.
Talking about his film, Agnihotri said: "The film is about women in today's society and the system.
