The Dirty Picture: Vidya is clad in a skimpy red blouse with three men- Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor- drooling over her. Wearing cleavage revealing blouses and biting her lip provocatively, Vidya Balan tries her best to look like southern siren Silk Smitha. She is certainly able to create steam in the making of The Dirty Picture poster.
The actor has been working hard to get into the skin of her character
and even fell ill while perfecting the nuances of Silk Smitha. Due to exertion, the lady even had to be hospitalised.
Director Milan Luthria says Vidya Balan's classic Indian look made her the perfect choice to portray the role of Silk Smitha.
"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 PTI.
The director says 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.
The director of Kachche Dhaage, Taxi Number 9211 and Once Upon a Time In Mumbai, Luthria says a lot has gone into transforming Vidya into Silk Smitha.

A lot of work has gone into her transformation. It requires a great deal of effort to present a lady in a manner that looks sensuous but not vulgar. I am sure that people are standing up and noticing her and the film for that very reason. The fact that she can hold that innocent expression despite being a part of a bold scene is a facet of only great actors. The kind of character that she is playing, someone who has a harsh exterior but a soft inner, isn't easy, but Vidya does it effortlessly," says Luthria.
Yash Raj Films' romantic thriller, EK THA TIGER, which was scheduled for a 1st June release will now release in theatres worldwide on Eid 2012.
Since Aamir Khan wanted to release his next film, directed by Reema Kagti, on 1st June, he requested Salman Khan and Aditya Chopra to shift EK THA TIGER to accommodate this release. Given the close relationship and mutual respect they share for one another, both Adi and Salman were happy to oblige and shift the release to Eid.
Directed by Kabir Khan and Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles.
The film is based on a story by Aditya Chopra and the screenplay and dialogues have been written by Kabir Khan and Neelesh Misra. Aseem Mishra, who has worked with Kabir on New York, is the DOP. The music will be scored by Suhail Sen.
The film is currently shooting in Dublin from where it moves on to Turkey for its next schedule.
Dabangg 2, the sequel to the 2010 blockbuster Dabangg, will release in December 2012, actor-producer Arbaaz Khan revealed on Monday.
"Dabangg 2 starts March 2012 and releases on 21 Dec 2012!!!" Arbaaz, who turned producer with the first instalment last year, posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Arbaaz had last month confirmed that the first draft of the script was ready. They were just waiting for actor Salman Khan's dates.
Perhaps the schedule dates have been locked now for the film, which will once again see Sonakshi Sinha and Sonu Sood.
Hopes are high from the sequel to Dabangg, which had earned Rs 145 crore.
Arbaaz, whose wife Malaika had grooved to the chartbuster Munni Badnaam Hui in the film, had admitted earlier that he was nervous about the sequel.
"There is a little nervousness for sure as the expectations are high but we would definitely be presenting something good and interesting," he had said.
A new law, which is being called the “Extreme DWI Law”, took effect on September 1. This new law enhances the punishment for anyone with .15, or higher, alcohol content in their blood or breath, taking a DWI offense from a Class B to a Class A misdemeanor.
This new law carries with it a possible sentence of up to a year in jail and $4,000 in fines, even for first-timers.
This is just another example of the enhancement that can occur when you provide a breath or blood sample. If you don’t give a breath or blood sample, then the .15 enhancement is irrelevant.
Hyderabad: Police arrested hundreds of leaders and activists of Telangana movement as a three-day rail blockade began in the region on Saturday amid tension.
K. Kavita, leader of Telangana Jagruti, a cultural outfit of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), became the first leader to be arrested under the Railway Act when she along with others squatted on the railway track at Moula Ali near Hyderabad.
Kavita, daughter of TRS chief K. Chandrasekhara Rao, was forcibly lifted by police and shifted to Keesara police station.
Rao's son and TRS legislator K. Taraka Rama Rao, along with scores of leaders and activists of the Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC), were arrested at Sitaphalmandi in Secunderabad when they were going to participate in the 'rail blockade'.
The TRS leader warned the government of serious consequences if it continued to use police for committing excesses on people participating in the movement.
Three MPs of ruling Congress -- Ponnam Prabhakar, G. Vivek and Rajaiah -- were also arrested in Karimnagar and Warangal districts when they were going to block the trains.
Dozens of other leaders, including legislators, were either kept under house arrest or were detained while they were heading towards the railway tracks.
The arrests were made across Telangana, which comprises 10 districts including Hyderabad. Over 100 protestors were arrested in Mahabubnagar district alone.
The railways have already cancelled 126 trains in the region for the three days in view of the blockade called by JAC to press the demand for a separate Telangana state.
However, the railways plan to run few trains as scheduled. At least four trains left from Secunderabad railway station Saturday morning.
The state police and the railways have warned protestors against blocking the trains, saying they would be arrested under the Railway Act. Director General of Police Dinesh Reddy has said those arrested under the act may even get life imprisonment.
