Showbiz: Be curvy, be feminist, be smart

O la la la! How incredibly delicious is Vidya Balan in The Dirty Picture. Her gorgeous, lush curves, her generously rounded belly, her unabashed sensuality...Even as a straight woman, I have to remind myself not to physically drool when I see the promos of Ekta Kapoor's latest film. But then Balan has always been one of our most interesting actors.

She started her career in music videos and graduated to the big league with her first film itself. Parineeta won her the Filmfare best debut award and since then her career trajectory has skyrocketed. But while her skill set was great, we were determined to find a fatal flaw. So, we hit on the fact that Balan wasn't skinny and she didn't give a damn about her appearance.

This tiny, curvy pocket Venus refused to kowtow to industry standards and didn't agree to be cut from the same size zero mould as our other lovely heroines. What was even more abhorrent is that she refused to go on a diet or share the secrets of her newly-discovered weight loss routine because - and wait for this - she had none!

So, changing tactics, the focus shifted to her dress sense. It really didn't help that she just didn't care and Heyy Baby was evidence of that nonchalance. Imagine the field day the press had when she agreed to star in a biopic based on South Indian vamp Silk Smitha.

Given that the former actor was reputed for her bordering-on-tacky, soft porn wardrobe, Vidya Balan was actually advised not to do the film. She had recently cleaned up her act and was making appearances in elegant Sabyasachi Mukherjee sarees. Plus, horror of horrors - she actually had to gain many many pounds for the film. And we all know how our stars react to method acting. Critics had predicted the demise of her career until promos appeared on television screens.

Suddenly the date of December 2 is penned in everyone's calendar. And the entire nation wants to take Balan home. Men because it's obvious - and women because they want to be just like her.

 Compare this to 2008, when Kareena Kapoor dropped a few dress sizes for her film Tashan.

Newspapers, blogs, TV channels spoke of nothing else but size zero. Even today every time Bebo's name is mentioned this numeric pops up. We were subjected to the most inane questions that demanded the most ridiculous replies. I must admit she handled it well and when her films flopped she quietly put on weight and questioned the rationale behind size zero becoming a national obsession.

The Making of Vidya Balan DIRTY PICTURE Video and pictures!

'The Dirty Picture' is the most anticipated film of 2011 that stars Vidya Balan who essays the role of southern sex symbol Silk Smitha. On October 17 the makers put up a video of the making of the red hot poster.

'Kareena Kapoor out of Shahid Kapoor's guest list'

Shahid Kapoor is leaving no stone unturned for his home-production, Mausam. Shahid has personally invited everyone from Bollywood for the premiere of Mausam. Calling his ex-flames Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra but leaving Kareena Kapoor, the one woman with whom he had the longest relationship.

A source said, "Shahid and Pankaj decided the guestlist. They personally called or texted everyone from the industry. But maybe, Shahid didn't want Kareena."

This comes as a surprise because Shahid and Kareena have maintained that that they are cordial to each other and would love to work together again after Jab We Met.

Shahid and Kareena had also been very warm towards each other during the Filmfare awards earlier this year. Saif was also present with Kareena. The three of them had exchanged pleasantries and spent time together.

The reason for their break-up still remains a mystery since both of them have remained tight-lipped about it and moved on. Kareena began dating Saif Ali Khan immediately while shooting for Tashan.

Shahid found love in Vidya Balan while shooting for Aziz Mirza's Kismet Konnection. However, once the film released, Shahid decided to move on. Soon, they stopped talking to each other. According to sources, they drifted apart because Shahid was attracted to tennis star Sania Mirza.

Though, Kareena has been going strong with the Chhote Nawab, it is not the same for Shahid. The actor was seen hanging out with Priyanka Chopra soon after Vidya. Shahid and Priyanka had an on-off relationship interspersed with a lot of fights.

However, they have not let their personal differences disrupt their professional lives. Shahid and Priyanka will be seen together in Kunal Kohli's next untitled film. The three girls in question were unavailable for comment.

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.

Give Me Red

Even as Hurricane Bodyguard sweeps through the country smashing all existing opening day records, the only challenger to the unstoppable Salman Khan comes in the form of Vidya Balan. Make that Vidya Balan in a red sari heaving to something to the effect of Ooh la la, tu hai meri fantessy.

The theatrical trailer of Ekta Kapoor’s The Dirty Picture, which was unleashed amid the Bodyguard frenzy, is an instant eyeball-grabber. Balan who plays the central character in this biopic inspired by Southern starlet, Silk Smitha, packs in a oomphy wallop. Youtube and social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook have gone ga ga over her. Compliments are pouring in from colleagues and competitors alike. Sonam Kapoor tweeted her feelings: “Ohmigod just saw the promo of The Dirty Picture. Vidya Balan, I bow down to you. You are bold, provocative and brilliant.”

Balan, who is literally in the hot seat, is feeling the love. “I wanted to reply to everyone but I’m unable to get a grip on my phone due to the artificial nails that I’m sporting for the song that I’m shooting,” she laughs. Balan’s especially touched by Kapoor’s tweet. “I’m more than flattered with what she said,” she says. Since there’s still a fair bit of wait till the release of the film, December 2, Balan would like to tone down the trailer praise, deafening as it may be. “We are still shooting the film and we cannot afford to lose our steam. We are still wired on telling a good story,” she says.

Director Milan Luthria’s The Dirty Picture is getting more dirtier. The film is all set to present a series of real life characters on-screen. Till now the highlight of the film was Silk Smitha character, however the recent inclusion of one more strong real life character has increased the weight of the plot. If reports are to be believed the character on a dreaded female journalist from 70-80′s called Devyani Chaubal will be featured in The Dirty Picture.

Bollywood: Three films receive thumbs up

Be it Agneepath, The Dirty Picture or Rockstar, the recently released trailers of these much-awaited three films have received a thumbs up from members of the film industry, thanks to their perfect packaging.

The titillating, sensual and intriguing trailer of The Dirty Picture, which shows Vidya Balan in a never-seen-before avatar, opened to 73,222 views on Yahoo within 180 minutes of its release, according to Girish Johar, head of acquisition and distribution, Balaji Motion Pictures. It crossed 350,000 views on the website within 10 hours.

The buzz for the trailer is so strong that even Bollywood beauties like Sonam Kapoor and Raveena Tandon couldn't resist from raving about Vidya's bold and sultry look in the film that talks about the life of late southern glamour girl Silk Smitha.

"Oh my god, just saw the promo of The Dirty Picture. Vidya Balan, I bow down to you. You are bold, provocative and brilliant," tweeted Kapoor, while Tandon wrote: "Saw the trailer of The Dirty Picture!! Super Hot! Vidya's done a super bold act! Looks beautiful too!"

Vidya’s oomph shocks & awes

The sizzling trailer of actor Vidya Balan’s next flick The Dirty Picture is grabbing eyeballs and proving to be a big talking point.

The chest-thumping and provocatively gyrating moves of Vidya’s portrayal of Silk Smitha in the teaser has raised eyebrows, earned appreciation and wowed many. On YouTube the official trailer has already crossed over 1 lakh views within a week of its release. Actor Sonam Kapoor commented on Twitter, “Ohmigod just say the promo of dirty picture. Vidya balan I bowdown to you. You are bold provocative and f**ing brilliant (sic).”

Like Sonam, a lot many movie buffs are happy to see Vidya in an ultra sexy avatar. Ankur Talwar, a PR professional and stylist, says, “I think Vidya looks hot in the trailer. It’s not a vulgar portrayal because the filmmakers are just trying to capture the essence of that decade when stimulating skin show was very prominent. With this film Vidya is finally shedding her image of a homely girl and showing her sensuous side. It’s not her individual style, so it’s actually funny to see her going all the way and doing something so bold and controversial.”

However, the red sari, red lipstick and voluptuous image of Vidya in the posters and trailers, is a bit too much for the conservative lot. Toshi Khurana, a DU student and Bollywood movie fan, says, “I was actually shocked to see the trailer of this movie. It was in the news for a long time, but when I saw it, I was disappointed. Ekta Kapoor has picked up a hot topic but the presentation I feel is too explicit. The dialogues in the teaser are derogatory for any woman, and in some scenes even Vidya looks uncomfortable delivering them.”

The Dirty Picture And Womanhood

Is Vidya Balan still in love with Shahid Kapoor?

The actress apparently told TV producer Ekta Kapoor not to promote ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapur's Muasam on her TV show, fuelling rumours that she still has a soft spot for him 

There have been reports that Vidya Balan has been telling TV producers, including Balaji's Ekta Kapoor, not to promote ex-beau Shahid Kapoor's next release Mausam, in her TV serial, Bade Achche Lagte Hai. Does that mean the pretty Ishqiyan actress hasn't forgotten Shahid despite being in a steady relationship with one of the heads of a production house?

Says a source, "Shahid and Vidya became close during the shooting of Aziz Mirza's Kismet Konnection and shared some close moments together. But it was for a brief period of time and since then both have moved on with their respective partners. Or so one thought. But from her latest move it appears that Vidya has not moved on. There have been stories of her telling her Dirty Pictures producer Ekta Kapoor not to promote Shahid's next film Mausam on Ekta's serial, Bade Achche Lagte Hain. Why would a star of Vidya's calibre and repute do such a thing unless she was still in love with Shahid? One wonders if there's trouble in her relationship with her current beau, whom Vidya has been dating for over a year? It appears as if Vidya is still holding grudges aganst Shahid, while the actor has moved on and only wishes her well."

However a source from Balaji has another version. "Ekta's decision not to promote Mausam on her serial Bade Achche Lagte Hainwas not personal or anything to do with Vidya. Ekta is a professional and was very clear right from the beginning that only her film Dirty Pictures would be promoted first in Balaji's flagship television serials. Promoting upcoming releases through TV serials has always been one of the marketing strategies of Balaji but this time Ekta wants Dirty Picturesto come first (before other's films) on Bade Achche Lagte Hainas it's one of the top-ranking popular serials today. Vidya is a very dignified and balanced girl who is in a happy space today. She is a professional who would never interefere in someone's work. Nor does she need to resort to such gimmicks."

So who then is spreading the rumour?

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." The trailer promises viewers that Vidya would indeed be seen in a never-seen-before avatar in the film, which is set for release Dec 2.

Why celebs supported Anna Hazare?

They say there is always another side to every story.

As we see the 'face of the nation', Anna Hazare getting open support from various Bollywood celebs, it makes us wonder what brought them to the center stage of this political uprising. B-Town bigwigs Aamir Khan, Raju Hirani and Om Puri were present at the Ramlila Maidan, Delhi, while others like John Abraham, Vidya Balalan, Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Celina Jaitley, Udita Goswami et al, were supporting Anna's fight against corruption directly or indirectly in various cities.

So, what's the agenda behind the celeb support for Anna? Are these stars cutting a piece of cake for themselves? Says Kailash, "When you see these stars, it's visible that they are fake, that they are fooling people and are doing it for the sake of free publicity. I have never seen people changing colors like that." But then he diplomatically adds, "In India the system breaks you and your spirit. And this makes people think why should I initiate a process. With Anna taking such a strong stand, it has given people hope to fight for a cause, something to fall back on when they want to take a stand against something."

There also surfaces a subtle divide within the hitherto united 'big family' - the Hindi film industry. Even as Anupam Kher, (who played the ideologically upright headmaster in Saaransh) came out to support Anna, the man who made the movie and his former mentor, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt opposed Anna's stance. On one hand, we had Aamir making his positive presence felt, and Salman's bodyguards beat up Anna supporters on the other.

While Amitabh Bachchan and Shekhar Kapur openly supported Anna on microblogging sites, Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar were skeptical and Ram Gopal Varma even pretended ignorance about Anna! And then there were some who suddenly resurfaced from almost anonymity (like Raja Bundela, Sambhavna Seth, Raghubir Yadav) to ensure that they championed the most talked about cause of the moment. With their movies up for release, you could see some star casts in the front row of the protest rallies.

There was John Abraham breaking "dahi handis of corruption"as he put it during Janmashtami celebrations, Vishal Dadlani and Raghu Ram bragging about their 'participation in the Mumbai rally to support Anna' on social networking sites, and Vidya Balan, Shreyas, Bipasha, Udita and Celina in their Anna topis, Rakhi Sawant berating Team Anna, Jacquiline Fernandez refusing to support Anna - every celeb wanted a piece of Anna.

But do these celebrities really need to be out there in what it is being called the common man's revolution? Udita says, "I feel celebrities should stay away from the entire campaign. If this is a common man's uprising then it should remain like that and with Bollywood celebrities appearing on stage, the focus inadvertently shifts to the glamour they automatically bring in." But the ways and the cause is again appreciated and supported, she says, "It has definitely made a difference as we in India have become used to bomb blasts, but a man fasting has stirred the whole nation."

Opportunity knocks only once on your God forsaken door and it's wise to make use of it. However, to say that exactly that's what is happening will be drawing your own conclusions, but also there is no smoke without fire. Anna is surely fighting for one cause we all have got affected with at least once in our lifetime and actress Shital Shah sums it up best when she says, "I am happy that Anna managed to raise a very pertinent issue and sensitize the masses to it. What team Anna has come up with may not be foolproof and it would require some time on the part of everyone to bring out a bill that is in the best interests of the country." Chips in Celina, "Sometimes a change needs a revolution and the stand against corruption has brought every citizen of this country together just like we stood against the British. Celebrities supporting a good cause is important because we are all in our own ways role models to someone or the other. Mostly the youth in India needs the correct motivation."

With the impact of Anna being all-permeating at the moment, for many celebrities, it was also a chance to be in the arclight once again, so they seized the day to get every Anna's worth of publicity that can only help them professionally in the long run.

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.

Vidya Balan rubbishes marriage rumours

Reports claiming that Vidya Balan secretly married UTV Motion Pictures' head honcho Siddharth Roy Kapur have been splashed all over the net but the actress has shot it down saying she is so busy with her film that she doesn't have time to think about marriage.

"I am not yet ready to make a wedding album. I am busy making Dirty Picture (her forthcoming film) at the moment," Vidya, 33, said in a statement.

The reports of Vidya and Siddharth dating each other have been doing the rounds for quite some time, but neither has confirmed it so far.

The actress has shot down reports that claimed she tied the knot last week

After working in No One Killed Jessica, which was based on model Jessica Lal's murder case, she is working in another real life story Dirty Picture, based on southern sex symbol Silk Smitha who had committed suicide.

The film is being helmed by Milan Luthria and right now Vidya is busy shooting for the next schedule outside Mumbai.

The film is scheduled to release 2nd Dec, which happens to be Silk Smitha's birthda
