Vidya Balan – Hot & Seductive In ‘The Dirty Picture’

Director Milan Luthria says Vidya Balan’s classic Indian look made her the perfect choice to portray the role of southern siren, Silk Smitha in the upcoming biopic ‘The Dirty Picture’.

Balan’s aesthetic body display in the first trailer of the movie has gone down well with the audience and Luthria says she has given a new soul to the character of Silk.

“We were looking for a strong performer and not someone who could merely look sexy and Vidya is a great actor. Also, she has the body of a classic voluptuous Indian beauty, something not many Bollywood actresses can boast of. Silk was never pencil thin,” Luthria told. Director Milan Luthria says Vidya Balan’s classic Indian look made her the perfect choice to play Silk Smitha.

The director says that there was much thought and debate before Vidya’s name was zeroed down for the part.

“To have someone like her play a character of this sort is enough to create curiosity. There is a certain grace, class and credibility that Vidya brings and she is a South Indian herself,” says Luthria. Source
