Vidya is Smokin’ hot

 The actress pushes her limits and takes to tobacco to essay her character in Dirty Picture

Vidya Balan, the lead actress of the film, Dirty Picture, had to come out of her comfort zone to shoot for a smoking sequence in the movie, recently.

The actress while shooting for the film in Hyderabad had to enact a scene in which she had to actually smoke. Since Vidya had never smoked before, she began to feel uneasy after her fourth cigarette and started coughing. This halted the shoot of the film for a few minutes.

Once the effects of nicotine subsided, Vidya managed to resume shooting. Milan Luthria, the director of the film, gave a green signal to the shot after multiple retakes; however, by then, Vidya had already smoked 10 cigarettes.

The film Dirty Picture is one of the most awaited films of the year as it is based on the life of southern siren Silk Smitha. It focuses on how an actress who provided entertainment to millions died a lonely and a tragic death.

Vidya Balan, who essays Silk Smitha, is pushing her boundaries to play this role. She is not only experimenting with the costumes which will change her image but is also making additional efforts on the personal front to be able to do justice to the character. The director also wants the scenes in the movie to look realistic which is probably why he insisted on “ the non-smoker” Vidya to smoke cigarettes in reality.
