Vidya Balan, the classic Indian beauty who wowed the audiences with her sensual performances in flicks like 'Ishqia' and 'Parineeta', is all set to play the role of south Indian sexy siren Silk Smitha in Ekta Kapoor's upcoming flick 'The Dirty Picture' to be made under the banner of Balaji Telefilms.
The script of the flick has been finalized by Ekta Kapoor and it will be directed by Milan Luthra. However, the film will concentrate on the lonely life of Silk Smitha as an actress and a dancer rather than on her controversial but isolated private life. Ekta chose Vidya Balan for the role as she belonged to South India and could understand the prevailing sensitivities in a better way than any other actress.
However, the gutsy actress is yet to sign on the dotted lines to act in the flick, which will be a biopic on the controversial sex goddess of south Indian films. Silk Smitha was undisputed queen of the southern cinema and enjoyed unparalleled popularity during her heydays.
If Vidya Balan agrees to play the character of Silk Smitha in 'The Dirty Picture', this will be second memorable character for her after enacting the role of Amitabh Bachchan's mother in R Balki's 'Paa'. Vidya Balan had even won awards for her depiction of the role of Big B who was senior enough to be her father but played the part of 'Auro', her ailing son in the picture.
