Vidya Balan Is Being Noticed Big Time With ‘The Dirty Picture’

While it is ‘Ooh Laa Laa’ time for Vidya Balan currently, courtesy her dare bare act in THE DIRTY PICTURE which is being noticed in a big way, another film of hers has taken a backseat for now. KAHAANI, which was launched close to a year ago, has gone slow in favour of THE DIRTY PICTURE which is turning out to be Vidya’s next big arrival.

 

“After ISHQIYA, Vidya had signed two films – NO ONE KILLED JESSICA and KAHAANI. While she first shot for the former and the film was released early this year, it was KAHAANI that she started working on around the same time.

After she had completed a major part of this Sujoy Ghosh directed film, THE DIRTY PICTURE came her way. Ever since then there has been a lot of noise made around this Milan Luthria directed biopic”, says an industry observer.

A thriller shot in Kolkata, KAHAANI has Vidya Balan playing a pregnant woman on the look-out for her husband who has gone missing. On the other hand in THE DIRTY PICTURE, Vidya can be seen exuding oomph while enacting the role of Silk Smitha.

“If KAHAANI would have been Vidya’s first release after NO ONE KILLED JESSICA, which would have meant two back to back hardcore performance oriented roles for her,” says a source, “Call it coincidental or intentional but THE DIRTY PICTURE arriving should be a win-win situation for all involved. Vidya can expect to showcase a different side of her while KAHAANI too would further benefit when it releases since audience would be in for a shock to see her in a different avatar all over again.”

It is turning out to be a winning situation for KAHAANI too because now it would be seeing a solo release on 20th January. For Bollywood followers there is a little bit of trivia here because Vidya’s NO ONE KILLED JESSICA too had released in January this year and turned into a good success.

Simpleton to sexy siren – Vidya Balan goes bold

Vidya Balan

Forget the bespectacled Radhika of the “Hum Paanch” series, the demure Lalita of “Parineeta” or even the rustic Krishna of “Ishqiya”! An evolved Vidya Balan paints “The Dirty Picture” red with her killer pout, sultry dance, deep cleavage and her bold stance, leaving you sighing and singing “Ooh la la! Ooh la la”.

When producer Ekta Kapoor told IANS “I would be surprised if I don’t get unbelievable critical acclaim for ‘Dirty Picture’ and a national award for my actress, Vidya Balan”, she sure didn’t mean it for nothing.

The story of southern sex siren Silk Smitha — her rise as a glamour girl thanks to her bold and semi-nude roles in movies, and her gradual fall owing to new entrants in the market, her financial crisis and personal problems — “The Dirty Picture” is set to have Vidya at her glamorous, boldest and sultry best.

If the first poster of the film, with Vidya showing off her cleavage in an itsy bitsy red blouse, didn’t spell fire, the one minute 30-second trailer sure makes you go “Ooh la la” – in tune with disco king Bappi Lahiri’s spicy rendition of a song which says “Tu hai meri fantasy…”.

The Munnis and the Sheilas of Bollywood can take a backseat for a while because the 33-year-old Vidya, even with her not so washboard abs, might just become every man’s fantasy with her titillating moves, curvaceous frame, playfulness, and sensuous ways in her scenes with Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Bollywood’s very own serial kisser Emraan Hashmi.

With its into-the-face dialogues, the trailer itself might leave many gasping like Tusshar when Vidya says: “Mujhe jo chahiye uska mazza raat ko hee aata hai” and many ogling like Naseer does when she decks up for a film shoot.

Perhaps what the trailer misses is the dark side of Silk Smitha’s story, which the film is expected to highlight. But it does its job and it does it well.

It’s been just six years since Vidya made her Bollywood debut with “Parineeta”, but in the short period, the actress showed her fearless streak by roles that are as different as chalk and cheese like “Ishqiya” and “Paa”.

Her choice of unconventional scripts with experimental roles that challenge the actor in her has continued to set an example of what it takes to strike the right balance between commercial and parallel cinema.

If it was a lonely lover in her first movie, Bengali project “Bhalo Theko”, Vidya went on to show her subtle and romantic side in “Parineeta”. In “Lage Raho Munnabhai”, she was seen in a conventional role, but she played it unconventionally.

Her performance in “Guru” as a multiple sclerosis patient may have been short, but it didn’t go unnoticed. Her films “Salaam-e-Ishq”, “Heyy Babyy” and “Kismat Konnection” may not have done much to boost her film career, but Vidya remained dauntless.

She broke all doubts about her dancing skills through her performance on the song “Ami je tomar” in “Bhool Bhulaiyaa”.

For a brief period, her choice of dresses was talk of the town and was much criticised, but Vidya kept to her work and when she returned as single mother in “Paa”, her high-voltage performance shut the wagging tongues.

“Ishqiya” further strengthened filmmakers’ belief in her versatility and capacity as an actor. In Abhishek Chaubey’s film, Vidya convincingly played a conniving and manipulative woman who doesn’t shy away from using her sexuality to fulfil her goals.

And then “No One Killed Jessica” saw her in a completely different avatar. Based on the real-life Jessica Lall murder case, the movie saw her as a grieving sister who runs from pillar to post to get justice for her sister.

After entertaining viewers with her plain Jane look, Vidya has now picked up a contrasting role in “The Dirty Picture”. She oozes oomph like never before and one wonders if the movie will be Vidya’s next stepping stone to her ever-rising success story.

Directed by Milan Luthria, the film will release Dec 2, which is Silk Smitha’s birth anniversary.

Bollywood actresses stripped in fake images

When fake was passed for real

Almost every actress has gone through it. The situation is so weird that they don’t even know when their fake pictures, mostly in bikinis, start doing the rounds of the internet. Preeti Desai can’t understand the hullabaloo over her pictures in a swim-suit, but when she saw her eye-popping, semi-nude pictures easily available on the net, she went on record to say that the images are morphed.

Before Preeti, it was Vidya Balan. The actress’s fake image in a see-through bikini on a Maxim cover proved deadly for her reputation, though her fans silently wished to see her that slim. It’s not only Vidya but Sonakshi Sinha too who fell prey to the morphed image trap. Sonakshi, who swears never to don a bikini, was seen in a green two-piece on a fake Maxim cover. Other actresses like Celina Jaitley and South actress Khushboo too had to lodge complaints against the use of their morphed images.

We give you the Bollywood actresses whose fake, controversial images made news for all the wrong reasons.

Vidya’s multiple 'shades'

We thought Vidya Balan’s favourite accessories were her signature style jhumkas, the chunky beaded neck pieces, and even the rudraksha she so stylishly flaunts.

But wait... there is a dark side to this Southern beauty, too. Yeah, her favourite accessory is sunglasses – of all shapes, sizes and super-stylish brands. The lady can resist shopping clothes, shoes, bags and even her cool kurtas and designer saris, but the minute she spots dark glasses, she turns into a ‘shades shopaholic’. Recently, while shooting in Delhi she surprised her staff with the way she went on a shade shopping spree. Well lovely Vids, we aren’t as excited about your wide-range of sexy shades. How do we get a closer look at those lovely, deep, brown eyes? Tell us.

Vidya Balan is really looking forward to the Jessica Lal’s project

Vidya Balan has got a tough job on hands, it seems. The actress, who is all set to play Jessica Lal’s sister Sabrina Lal in ‘No One Killed Jessica’, has been barred from taking cues from Sabrina to prepare for the same.

Don’t worry, there’s no political party or anything involved here, but filmmaker Gupta himself has decided to not let Balan meet Sabrina. Rajkumar, who is reallylooking forward to the project, wants Vidya to pull off the role in her own way.

According to a source, Gupta doesn’t want Vidya to meet Sabrina because he believes that she would then pick up the latter’s mannerisms and replicate Sabrina’s actions when filming. He wants her to do the role in a different manner.


‘No One Killed Jessica’ also stars actress Rani Mukerji in a very important role - that of a journalist on the lines of a firebrand reporter Barkha Dutt. However, Jessica Lal’s role will be played by a newcomer in the film. Grapevine has it that Kareena Kapoor had been approached for playing Jessica in the film, but the actress turned down the offer thinking that she would have had very little to do especially as the character gets murdered in the early part of the story.

Guess Vidya surely have to work really hard for it.
