Vidya Balan is now Silk Smitha and she surely has proved that she can walk the talk. The first look poster of her upcoming film The Dirty Picture is out.
The movie is based on the life of South Indian soft-porn film star Silk Smitha. The film stars Emraan Hashmi, Naseeruddin Shah and Tusshar Kapoor. The poster shows a very hot looking Vidya in a red blouse with her three co-stars around her. The movie has been going around in gossip columns for many months now for all sorts of reasons.
“The poster and the logo of the film has a very 1980s feel to it because the movie is set in that period. We will be launching the first trailer of ‘The Dirty Picture‘ in Mumbai August 30th,” said Girish Johar from Balaji Motion Pictures.
‘The Dirty Picture’ will hit the screens on 2nd December, this year, which will be Silk Smitha’s birth day. For those who are not aware of her, Silk Smitha rose to cult status in 1980s with her bold scenes and sensual characters in South Indian movies. Her life was one of great hardships, that included many personal and financial problems, which finally led to her suspected suicide in 1996.
The movie captures the ups and downs of this troubled diva. Produced by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms, the first trailer of the movie was launched at Galaxy theatre in Mumbai.
Mr. Johar added, “It is because the movie has the 1980s charm of Indian cinema, we chose not to go to any five star hotel or a multiplex to launch the first teaser. The theatre will be set up in a way that reminds people of good old times.”
