Why was Vidya chosen for Silk Smitha's role?

Vidya Balan was the original choice for the role of Silk Smitha in ‘The Dirty Picture’ and that's because director Milan Luthria wanted an actor with a deadly combination of sexiness and innocence. And, Vidya Balan is the only actor in Bollywood who offers the combo.

Vidya Balan has already proved her mettle with ‘Ishqiya,’ as she managed performing the bold scenes effortlessly. Initially, the actor was conscious to face the camera in a sensual avatar, but finally she was comfortable and director Milan Luthria is happy with the outcome.

He feels Vidya has managed to look sensuous, not vulgar. ‘The Dirty Picture’ is all set to release on December 2.

Vidya Balan is a great actor—Milan Luthria

Playing unconventional roles is nothing new for Vidya Balan and the actress, who has done a complete makeover to portray Silk Smitha in 'Dirty Picture', has apparently received mixed reviews from the audiences.

Vidya has no close resemblance to the late actress and a lot of the viewers who had watched the theatrical trailer of the film felt that the actress’ physical attributes didn’t match up to Silk’s.

However, director Milan Luthria, in a recent interview, stated that Vidya is the only actress who is a great performer and has the looks of a classic Indian beauty that is apt to portray the role of Silk Smitha in the biopic.
Talking about Vidya’s sensuous look in 'Dirty Picture', Milan said that a lot of work had gone into transforming the actress for the role. 

Apparently, they had put in a lot of effort to present the actress in a more sensuous way that cannot be deemed vulgar.

"We were looking for a strong performer and not someone who could merely look sexy and Vidya is a great actor. Also, she has the body of a classic voluptuous Indian beauty, something not many Bollywood actresses can boast of. Silk was never pencil thin.

“The fact that she can hold that innocent expression despite being a part of a bold scene is a facet of only great actors. The kind of character that she is playing, someone who has a harsh exterior but a soft inner, isn't easy, but Vidya does it effortlessly," stated the ‘Dirty Picture’ director. 

Vidya to go nude
 
Looks like Vidya, who is making an interesting journey to play different kinds of characters in various films, seems to be grabbing roles that shows her sensuous side.

The actress, who is considered to be a great performer in the industry, has grabbed a new film ‘Enjoy Your Life', where she would have to go nude. 

The actress has decided to shed her inhibitions for a scene in the film. The film also has Amitabh Bachchan in an important role.

Tamil producers want to sign Vidya
 
Vidya’s 'Dirty Picture' has become a talking point in Kollywood. The actress has shed her next-door girl image to bring in the sizzle and sensation of the original sex symbol Silk Smitha.
It’s heard that several producers in Kollywood are waiting to sign the actress after seeing the theatrical trailer of 'Dirty Picture' and her sensuous looks.

Vidya Balan’s lip-lock jinxed?

The much-touted lip-lock between Vidya Balan and Tusshar Kapoor is still yet to be shot for The Dirty Picture.

As one of the men who's close to Silk Smitha, the character that Vidya essays in the film, Tusshar shares a lip-lock with her onscreen. However, while the other scenes have been shot with the two of them, this is yet to be canned. It was supposed to have been shot more than a month back in Hyderabad where they shot most of the film. But a sudden dragonfly attack on the sets, put an end to the shoot.

The kissing scene was to be canned in Mumbai later and it looks like it's still hanging in limbo! Meanwhile, some people in Kollywood are not too sure Vidya can pull off the oomphy Silk Smitha role. It now remains to be seen what the reaction will be to Vidya's 'bold' scenes on-screen.

I Felt Comfortable With Bold Scenes: Vidya Balan

She is at her boldest ever in "The Dirty Picture", but actress Vidya Balan says she never felt a sense of discomfort shooting for the movie as she was in the "trusted hands" of director Milan Luthria.

"I have never enjoyed being a woman more than I did while shooting for 'The Dirty Picture'. I wasn't uncomfortable doing bold scenes because I knew I was in trusted hands," Vidya told reporters here Tuesday. The actress, who reprises late southern siren Silk Smitha's rise and fall as a glamourous star in the film, spoke at the theatrical launch of the film. The movie also features Tusshar Kapoor, Emraan Hashmi and Naseeruddin Shah. "I have worked with Naseer before but this time it was easier...I was less nervous this time," said Vidya, who had teamed up with the veteran actor in "Ishqiya". On working with Bollywood's serial kisser Emraan, with whom she has locked lips in the film, she said: "I was wondering how it would be with Emraan, but it was fun."

First Look: The Dirty Picture

First look of The Dirty Picture, southern siren Silk Smitha's biopic, starring Vidya Balan is out. Vidya is clad in a skimpy red blouse with three men- Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor- drooling over her.

Sex icon Silk Smitha was a popular item girl who capivated millions.
The actor was found dead in her Chennai apartment in 1996. It was challenging for Vidya to step into her shoes, by her own admission.

The film, directed by Milan Luthria, will be released on December 2 which is Smitha's birth date. Ekta Kapoor (producer) refers to her as one of the muses in the film. Ekta told HT: "It's a beautiful coincidence since she is one of our muses, along with other Southern actors like Shakeela, Nylon Nandini and Polyester Padmini."

"My film is not inspired by any one of them, but is a reflection of an era when they used their sexuality to carve a niche for themselves in the male-dominated South film industry. Many frowned upon them, but they were survivors and their power over the masses cannot be denied," she added.

The Dirty Picture is touted to be Ekta's boldest film till date leaving behind Ragini MMS, Shor In The City and Love Sex Aur Dhokha.
