But soon her screen-image is going to undergo a sea-change. She is about to star in the role of South porn star, Silk Smitha, who was renowned for her alluring, skin-showing act.
To be directed by Milan Luthria, ‘Dirty Picture’ has already created much hype in the industry. The film stars Vidya Balan as the South siren Silk Smitha, while Naseruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi, and Tusshar Kapoor star in other lead roles.
With low necklines and hot pants, Vidya will look dirtier
While portraying a porn star aesthetically, Vidya Balan might have to do away with some of her inhibitions on-screen. Without much doubt, ‘Dirty Picture’ will have ample skin show where the costumes will be short and quite revealing.
The initial sketches for Vidya’s costumes include hot pants, low necklines, and petticoats.
Niharika Khan, who has designed Vidya’s costumes said, “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.”
Vidya needs to get bolder in mind and body
While researching for the role of a porn star, Vidya Balan confesses that she is not at all a porn enthusiast as she believes porn is more of a guy thing.
To fit the role perfectly, the scipt requires Vidya to put on extra pounds. Playing a porn star can be a hard task, but Vidya is very confident of her acting skills. She said, “It will be my interpretation, not an impersonation.”
Director Milan Luthria feels Vidya needs to be more daring to do justice to the role of a porn star.
Luthria said, “Vidya Balan needs to get bolder in her performance and physicality. This is not kid stuff we are doing. My film takes a naked look at all we've been whispering about.”
