Believe it or not , Vidya Balan will
soon
play the doomed sex bomb Silk
Smitha .
Sounds incredible ?
But producer Ekta Kapoor' s biopic
on Silk Smitha titled The Dirty
Picture will not focus on the sleaze
but the tragedy behind the mask of
the sex symbol who provided
titillation to thousands of viewers
but died a lonely and tragic death .
Producer Ekta Kapoor says , " I ' ve
been waiting for almost two years
for the script to be ready . Now my
writer Rajat Arora has finally put
the finishing touches to the story of
a woman who defied all conventions
to become a sensation in the South
but eventually committed suicide .
Let me tell you, this will be my most
exhilarating and powerful
production ever . It 's about women' s
empowerment and the loneliness
behind stardom ."
Ekta has signed Milan Luthria , who
is currently directing Once Upon A
Time In Bombay to direct The Dirty
Picture. Reliable sources confirm
that Vidya will be playing the lead in
this purported study of stardom ,
exploitation and self- destruction.
Vidya says , " Yes , Milan Luthria has
come to me with the film that you're
talking about. But it ' s too early to
speak about it at the moment . "
Director Milan Luthria says , "It
would be premature to reveal on
record who's playing the lead. But
yes , I 'm directing The Dirty Picture
for Ekta Kapoor. I was bowled over
when I read the script. The story has
everything. It ' s a mirror of our
times. Silk Smitha was a cult figure
in her times. She spawned so many
imitations including Nylex Nalini
and Disco Shanti . In fact, I worked
with Disco Shanti in Najayaaz when I
was assisting Mahesh Bhatt saab . "
