Vidya Balan needs to become more comfortable in her own skin on screen, according to the director of her upcoming film Dirty Picture.
The actress is known for her love of more traditional roles in films such as the crime drama Ishqiya.
According to the Mumbai Mirror, she was shocked when she received her wardrobe for the film, which turned out to be full of skimpy outfits.
Helmer Milan Luthria told the paper: "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."
Dirty Picture will see Balan playing the tragic South Indian actress Silk Smitha, who was famous for her "sensual" dances.
It was reported last month she planned to sue over doctored pictures of her in a bikini posing on a fake Maxim cover.
