It is common knowledge that Vidya Balan is doing ‘Dirty Picture’, a biopic based on the life of the late South sex siren, Silk Smitha. The movie is produced by Ekta Kapoor, the boss of Balaji Telefilms. Vidya however, seemed to have a few reservations about how she would be captured on the camera and laid it out bare before the producers of the film. She had called for a meeting with the makers, and it turned out to be a long one.
Vidya in her sweet but forthright way put down some ground rules about her portrayal in the film. Some of the conditions were:
Vidya also had rules about the choreography of the songs in the film. A source discloses, “Vidya said that the movements in the songs may be suggestive but not vulgar”
The task-master of a producer, Ekta Kapoor, who is not known to listen to requests from actors, politely accepted Vidya’s demands. It is also believed that there will be two choreographers for the film, one from the South and the other will be from Mumbai. The source adds, ‘The choreographers will be chosen only after Vidya has discussions with them.”
Both Milan Luthria and Ekta Kapoor are also interested in doing the ‘Dirty Picture’ without the sleaze. But this is definitely a shocker from Vidya who was always known to be inhibition-free right from the time she debuted in the movies.
