Four reasons that made Vidya first choice for 'The Dirty Picture'
Joginder Tuteja, IndiaGlitz [Thursday, September 15, 2011]

The first trailer of Balaji's 'The Dirty Picture' has managed to pleasantly shock the audience. Vidya Balan's unabashed yet aesthetic body display whilst enacting Silk Smitha has ensured that the film has managed to take a perception shift from being a serious biopic to a more wholesome commercial entertainer. The credit goes to director Milan Luthria though who confirms that there was much thought and debate before Vidya was zeroed down upon for the part.

Smiles Milan, "Vidya was my choice for four reasons. First and foremost to have someone like her play a character of this sort is enough reason to create curiosity amongst the audience. There is a certain grace, class and credibility that a Vidya Balan brings. Secondly, Vidya is a South Indian herself."

He continues, "The third point that went in Vidya's favour is her acting skill. We were clearly looking for a strong performer and not someone who could merely look sexy. Fourthly, she has the body of a classic voluptuous Indian beauty, something not many Bollywood actresses can boast of. Silk was never pencil thin."

With Emraan Hashmi, Naseeruddin Shah and Tusshar as the three men in her life, 'The Dirty Picture', with music by Vishal and Shekhar, releases all over on 2nd December.

She is beautiful, graceful, a subtle sensuality to her .Above all, she is a superbly talented actress. Always a pleasure to watch and maybe nobody will agree but she has a cinematic appeal to her when she gets the roles of her caliber.

Way to go, Vidya. ❤️

i dont think any other current actress could have done this role, vidya's the perfect choice, plus shes the only one who would be willing to gain 25-30 lbs to play a character. I loved her in parineeta and ishqiya as well

Her talent, the grit & realism she brings out in every character she plays.👍🏼 She's always impressed me, loved her performance in Bhool Bhulaiyaa because it wasn't an easy character to pull off. The way she'd switch back & forth in that Jekyll/Hyde like character was a mark of brilliance for me.
