The movie is still getting final touches before it releases in December, but news about its sequel is already out in the circles. We are talking about Balaji Productions' most awaited Silk Smitha's biopic 'The Dirty Picture', starring Vidya Balan in lead. Yes, we hear that the makers are considering the movie's second innings.

Director Milan Luthria promises to announce the remainder cast of 'Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai 2' by end-October, "We wrap the shoot of The Dirty Picture by the end of September after which I will focus on the sequel of OUATIM."

Given the enormous excitement that the trailer of 'The Dirty Picture' has already created, industry folks are wondering if a sequel will be in the offing. "It's a bit early to think of a sequel," he says. "If people find it uplifting, then I'll be the first to jump at the opportunity. Balaji and I are not closed to the idea."

When the film was announced long back, there was speculation about it being a serious biopic. The bold yet classy poster and trailer have strongly shattered that myth. "We worked incredibly hard on the first look of the film. As the film is mainstream and commercial in every respect, that had to come through in the poster and trailer," says Milan.

With the shoot nearing completion, 'The Dirty Picture' will shortly head into post-production to be released on 2nd December 2011.
