- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,March 31 2012]
Industry insiders have it that Bollywood blockbuster ÂThe Dirty Picture will be remade in Tamil  Telugu by the original filmÂs makers with Anushka Shetty on board! The film swept the National Awards (3 awards) apart from winning several other accolades.
The makers are toying with featuring Anushka Shetty in this woman centric role thatÂs inspired from the life of late yesteryear sex siren, Silk Smitha.
ÂThe Dirty Picture by Milan Luthria threw light on the life of Silk, played to perfection by Vidya Balan, an item girl who goes to her careerÂs peak and falls down right to the bottom and ends her life eventually. The film was the topic of discussion even before its release and was subject to several controversies.
Apart from the main protagonist played by Vidya in the original, there are three other pivotal roles that were essayed by Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi.
Anushka is known for playing strong women centric roles and her list of films stands testimony to this. She was acclaimed for her performance in ÂArundhathi and ÂVaanamÂ. However the actress who is one hot property in Telugu  Tamil film industries has her hands full with several projects and we have to wait to see if sheÂll give a nod.
It will be interesting to watch a remake of ÂThe Dirty Picture that threw light on the life of a sex siren from the south in our south industries.
