Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Plot [ ] A day before her marriage, Reshma () runs away from her rural village, hoping to become a star in. She fails to impress a casting director, and he insults her for being unattractive and unable to act. Determined to secure a role, she spontaneously auditions for the position of a background dancer. However, she dances in a sultry manner, using erotic movements which annoys the film's director, Abraham (). He edits out Reshma's entire dance sequence. The film fails at the box office, much to the dismay of the producer Selva Ganesh (Rajesh Sharma), who later recalls Reshma's performance and offers her a role in a song in his upcoming film.

Selva also suggests that she now be referred to as 'Silk', which is more exotic and captivating. At the first shoot, Silk dances with veteran actor Suryakanth (), her childhood idol. Enamoured with him, Silk gains his affection and attention by offering a long-term sexual relationship. Meanwhile, Abraham proposes a new film to Selva Ganesh and is keen to cast Suryakanth. However, Suryakanth's suggestion of adding sex and eroticism, to make the film more commercially viable, angers Abraham. Silk slowly builds a name for herself in the industry and goes on to do many more sexually charged films with Suryakanth, which catapults her into stardom.

She gains many male fans and, in a short time, becomes immensely rich and popular as a Southern sex symbol. Suryakanth's younger brother Ramakanth () is an admirer of Silk and starts to befriend her. Silk develops a liking for him, after she realizes that he is the first man who loves her for more than just her body and sex appeal.

At an awards ceremony Silk is praised for her performance but is insulted by Suryakanth who tells her that she is nothing more than everyone's 'dirty secret'. Hurt by his remarks, Silk announces that she will continue to make her 'dirty pictures' and that she has no qualms in doing so. She begins to spend more time with Ramakanth and becomes the focus of tabloid gossip after noted journalist Naila () criticises Silk for having a romantic relationship with both brothers. To avoid scandal, and also to get revenge, Suryakanth drops Silk from his forthcoming films, forcing her to work with smaller, unknown filmmakers. She loses interest in her work and begins to feel threatened by a younger aspiring actress, Shakeela. During a dance challenge she intentionally trips Shakeela, much to the embarrassment of Ramakanth who then decides to end their relationship. To ease her heartbreak and the rejection from her family, Silk turns to alcohol and chain smoking.

She gains weight, causing her to lose her status as a sex symbol. Silk approaches Silva Ganesh with an offer to produce a film together. Ultimately, the audience and industry has lost interest in her, and the film fails. On the other hand, Abraham directs a film which turns out to be a huge hit, and he feels that he has finally proven to Silk (and himself) that his films do not need any sexualisation to be successful. Having lost her fame and fortune, Silk has accumulated so much debt that she approaches a small-time filmmaker, willing to take on any role. She is shocked to find that he wants her to do a pornographic film, and she refuses. He intoxicates her with alcohol and starts filming, without her permission.

The place is raided by the police but Silk manages to escape. Abraham finds himself falling in love with Silk, even though he denies it first, as he struggles with this moral dilemma. During a phone conversation with Silk, Abraham becomes alarmed when she asks him to bid farewell to everyone for her.

He rushes to her house, and finds her lying in bed dead from a sleeping pill overdose, along with a suicide note written by her. The film ends with Abraham's narration, examining the life that Silk has led, and he questions whether the consequences she faced from her actions were justified or not.

He concludes by realizing that we will never know if her way of life was right or wrong, or if we should judge her at all. Balan with co-stars Tusshar Kapoor (left) and Emraan Hashmi at the audio release of The Dirty Picture. • as, a rebellious and independent woman.

She said that The Dirty Picture would be India's answer to the nominated film. Later in a press conference, Kapoor clarified that neither of 's forthcoming films, nor The Dirty Picture, were 'porn films' as they had been made out to be. Kapoor has gone on record to add, 'I would be surprised if I don't get unbelievable critical acclaim for The Dirty Picture and a national award for my actress, Vidya Balan. The film has one of the most well-written scripts I have come across and a lot of youngsters in my office have looked at it with great admiration.'

She pointed out that the purpose of the film was neither to justify nor criticise Smitha's life but for the audience to live her life. Additionally, all actors, including Balan and Shah attended workshops for almost two months before filming began, to familiarise themselves with the body language of their characters. “ The story chose me! It was Ekta's idea; she had asked the writer to write a story based on this, and once it was done, they casually asked me to go through it.

She wanted a first-time director to do it as it wasn't a big canvas and they did not have a big budget, but when I read the story I was bowled over. I told her I wanted to direct it; it was exclusive material – not those typical masala films, and I didn't want anyone else directing it. ” — When screenwriter Rajat Aroraa initially started working, taking cues from producer Kapoor, the scope of the film was much smaller, primarily looking back to the soft-pornography scene of the 1980s.

As work progressed, the scope gradually widened to include the controversial romances of Smitha through a fictionalised biopic. While researching for the film, director Luthria and screenwriter Aroraa found little material in magazines of that period, as 'women like Silk Smitha were often ignored by film magazines, except for gossip column mentions'. Thus they derived many of the details of her life from anecdotes and party gossips, and then fictionalised them. Apart from depicting the pomp of the Telugu/Tamil film industry, the screenplay takes up issues such as money management by actors, 'their string of broken relationships', and the way they 'led lonely lives and met with tragic ends'. For inspiration, instead of looking at films of the period, the team turned to the work of mainstream directors like,,, and G.P.

To put the global soft-porn industry in context, the team looked into Boogie Nights (1997) and (1996). The final script became a 'fictionalised, women-oriented, generalised perspective on the 1980s film industry'. Casting [ ] After initial talks with actresses and fell through, was offered the lead role. When Balan was narrated the script and shown sketches of what she needed to wear for the portrayal, she felt uncomfortable. Luthria added, 'We couldn't have found anyone better than Vidya for this role. It's a casting that very few would think is viable because it is going to be nothing like Vidya has done before.

But I am confident she will push the envelope as far as she can'. Regarding the criticism that Balan's character might evoke, Luthria clarified, 'I wanted Vidya to know that what she's doing is not crass or crude but can be shown aesthetically in a sensual manner with a touch of class. What her character does, is not cheap.'

As a reference point, he also asked Balan to study 'similar themed' films such as and. Balan also underwent training to fine-tune herself with Smitha's languid body language. Next, was cast as an ageing South Indian superstar with 'hideous wigs, dark glasses and painted-on mustaches'. He performed a 'fast dance number' in the film, a full 22 years after he last did it in the song 'Tirchi Topiwale' from (1989). Regarding his character, Ekta Kapoor stated, 'This role requires him to play to the gallery, provoke claps, laughs, and whistles and I know he can pull it off because Naseer is the Shah of all actors.' Luthria added, 'Expect a man who unabashedly enjoys the flesh of women'. And were next cast in lead roles.

While it was known that Tusshar Kapoor would play the role of a script-writer and Smitha's love interest, the nature of Hashmi's role was unknown for a while. The casting received praise from trade pundits, with Taran Adarsh commenting, 'Known for engaging in interesting and unconventional casting in all its previous releases, Balaji has again tackled the unheard of, by casting Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan – two of the most successful stars of today – opposite each other in The Dirty Picture. The perfect combination of mass and class promises to make this controversial film yet another winner from the Balaji stable.'

Filming [ ] Filming was to begin on 21 May 2011: a week after the release of Kapoor's. But due to production delays, it began a week later. Balan, a religious person, organised a on the sets before principal photography began. The first leg of filming took place at 's where an elaborate set re-creating (then Madras) of the 80s was set up.

The second schedule was shot in in. The song 'Ishq Sufiyana' was shot at Bidar fort in Bidar, Karnataka.

Filming was completed in September, before venturing into post-production, ahead of the December release. Director Luthria wanted to depict a sense of discomfort between the two lead characters, Balan and Hashmi, a 'meeting of two completely different worlds'. So he didn't allow them to interact and get comfortable with each other during film workshops ahead of the shoot. Since he considered them 'the unlikeliest pair to come together', he brought them together right into the shoot filming an important scene, where they had to insult each other. Though he was initially anxious, it all turned out well and he was surprised by the resulting chemistry. Marketing [ ]. From the original on 13 October 2014.
