The Dirty Picture to be Banned in South?

Posted by admin on Sep 19th, 2011 | 0 comments

Everything was looking good for Ekta Kapor’s ‘The Dirty Picture’ based on the real life story of the South Indian sultry actress Silk Smitha. But now, it looks the movie is going to face some wrath from some Rajnikanth fans in Tamil Nadu.

Apparently, Naseeruddin Shah’s role in the film is inspired by the Tamil superstar. The film teaser shows him Naseer who plays a Tamil superstar, gyrating with Vidya. Fans in South feel that it is an insult to Rajni who had worked with Silk Smitha in many movies. Showing their hero in a raunchy light is not acceptable to them, and they are considering withdrawing the film from theaters.

The makers of the film have denied that there is any similarity between Naseer’ s character and Rajni, and that Naseer plays an aging star while Rajni was in his 30s when he worked with Silk. But fans are not in a mood to accept this and they have stated that the film makers should remove the scenes involving Naseer and Vidya or they would have to face dire consequences.
