Dirty Picture just got dirtier

Hot pants, low necklines and petticoats, as part of the costume for her role as Silk Smitha in Milan Luthria's film, unnerved sari-loyalist Vidya Balan

While Vidya Balan definitely knew that she had to go extra glam to play Silk Smitha in Milan Luthria's Dirty Picture produced by Ekta Kapoor, Balan sort of freaked out when she saw the sketches of what she needs to wear for the portrayal.

Hot pants, low necks and petticoats (without the saree that Vidya is so fond of) got a bit too hot to handle for the lady. Also, she would have to wear these outrageous outfits after she gains some extra kilos on her thighs and other areas that the role requires, which left the actress gob smacked.

A little shaken with the initial sketches, Vidya Balan has told Luthria that all her outfits need to reach at least 30 days before she starts shooting, so that she can try and get comfortable in them.

Fashion designer Niharika Khan, who is in charge of Vidya's outfits in Dirty Picture, has pulled out all stops to comply with Balan's order.

The designer confirmed, "I am working as fast a I can. There is bound to be a lot of skin show where her legs and stomach will be bare.

The role has a graph where initially she will be wearing her usual clothes, later she becomes a star and then the downfall. So it's an array of costumes I am preparing covering all three phases."

When asked about Sabyasachi not designing for Vidya in the film, she added, "Well, Milan wanted me in the film. So, I can't comment on that."

Confirming this, Ekta said, "Well, there are two sizes that Vidya will be seen in. One is the thinner one, the other one is where she will have to put on weight."

Milan Luthria wants Vidya Balan to get bolder, physically and mentally

When contacted, Luthria said, "Vidya Balan needs to get bolder in her performance and physicality. Bolder in body and in mind.

This is not kid stuff we are doing. My film takes a naked look at all we've been whispering about."

"When Vidya asked me for the clothes, earlier than usual, I really wasn't surprised. My job is to ease her into the character. And this is just step one," added Luthria.

Ekta Kapoor....why don't your bahus dress like this?🤣

I like that Vidya's doing this....it's completely out of her comfort zone but she's making the effort to immerse herself into the character.....Isn't that the hallmark of acting to do so?

It sounds like a very risky role, even more than Paa, Ishqiya, and No One Killed Jessica. I think this film will ruin her hattrick of good performances! I say bow out before it gets any worse! Perhaps someone like Malika could do it since people like her love to show their body! Vidya is a refined and classy actress, this role will not suit her! 🤢

^^ I disagree with her being an actress she has to transform herself to fit the role not the role fit the actress if she can challenge herself & pull this off hats off to her she has the act in actress, I am all for vidya doing this role & Malika just bc she wears less clothes doesnt make her unclassy or be able to pull off this role easier she may fit the image of being sexy more than vidya but i think ppl will have more interest in seeing someone that they dont expect in such roles & make them believe it

for ex would u expect this sexy bombshell charlize theron pull off a crazy roll in monster its all about transformation & making the impossible possible that for me will make a

film more enjoyable 😉

So since Vidya's doing a movie with skin show, it makes her unrefined?

If Kate Winslet can strip nude for her art, then why not Vidya? Because she's a "classy" lady who covers her eyes at nudity? Or is there more to it than that?

The human body is beautiful....if Vidya wants to do it, then that's good for her. I'm not going to call her unrefined/a whole bunch of other forum inappropriate words just because she wears less clothing

I have enjoyed Vidya's performances lately and I really don't trust Ekta Kapoor! It sounds like she is just going to make a film about skin show and the film might fail miserably! Vidya at this stage in her career doesn't need a film which will bring her down both critically and commercially. I didn't say just because Vidya does a film on skin show makes her unrefined. It is about the director, producer, script, and production house which is making the film. Ekta is someone who should not be trusted! If someone like Mani Ratnam, Ritupharno Ghosh, or other reputable filmmaker was doing it, I would consider it a more "respectable" project. Vidya can strip and be nude for artistic purposes, but it has to be a project worthy of her talent! I don't think Ekta will do justice to Vidya's talent or acting ability! Sorry to say! 😲

Gotcha....you made it sound before you were referring to Vidya as per the character rather than how the film was going to be directed....it makes sense now

Ekta's a smart woman....she knows exactly what her TV audience wants and what her filmi junta wants....so I'm not that worried for Vidya
