Veena Malik is giving some serious competition to Vidya Balan as she portrays the nature of Silk Smitha with conviction. Be it short skirt, or sari, Veena manages to provoke within the first photoshoot for the Kannada version of The Dirty Picture.
The Kannada version is titled The Dirty Picture: Silk Sakkath Maga. It's produced by Venkatappa and directed by Trishul.
"As the heroine, I CAN get a large number of opportunity to accomplish. The director has packaged the film really well with glamour, sentiments and all other ingredients", Veena Malik said in an interview about her character.
Ekta Kapoor, who produced The Dirty Picture in Hindi under her banner Balaji Telefilms, is against the similar title getting used by Venkatappa.
Trishuli says his story is different. "I'VE written a fresh story and it has numerous native elements that may be peculiar to Karnataka. But I BELIEVED the title, The Dirty Picture, will suit the tale really well. The title have been cleared by KFC and we're legally guaranteed to use it for the film.
On another occasion Veena Malik said: “I don’t mind being titled as South’s Vidya Balan.”
