Vidya Balan in ‘The Dirty Picture’




Ekta Kapoor has started a biopic on one of India's biggest sex symbols Silk Smitha .The turbulent life of Silk Smitha will be portrayed on the big screen by Vidya Balan.


'The Dirty Picture' is directed by Milan Luthria who believes it is a casting coup of sorts. Ajay Devgan plays the man who enters the life of Vidya.


I'm sure Vidya Balan would act better than anyone else in The Dirty Picture, but she looks not at all sexy in the 1st pic in which she is Smitaha. But yes Vidya is definitely more pretty than Silk Smitha. Btw, she was a South Indian actress.


Some film critics, historians and journalists have referred to her as a "soft porn" actress & rightly so. Some of the images that I have seen only tell me that she was just a porn star.

In 1996, Smitha was found dead in her Chennai apartment. Financial problems, a disillusionment in love and an alcohol dependency apparently led to depression. It is suspected that Smitha committed suicide.
