'The Dirty Picture' to be dubbed in Telugu and Tamil

Added by harini on Oct 30, 2011

As Vidya Balan’s character in the movie ‘The Dirty Picture’ is loosely based on the life of southern sex symbol Silk Smitha, it only makes sense that that filmmakers of the movie are planning to cash in by dubbing the movie in both Telugu and Tamil languages.

"It makes sense to cater to the South audiences as well because Silk Smitha was a huge sensation in South Indian films. Perhaps they would be able to relate to the film more easily than the Bollywood belt,” said a source close to the movie.

Vidya Balan portrays the character of Silk Smitha, who rose to fame due to her bold dance numbers and semi nude appearances in movies down south. She garnered the reputation of sex symbol due to her boldness. She became one of the most popular actresses in Southern Film Industry.

Even the character of Naseeruddin Shah in the movie is that of a very famous South Superstar.

The Tamil and Telugu versions of the movie will release on December 2 2011 along with the Hindi Version.
