Vidya Balan is getting an image makeover finally. It seems the actress has had enough of her down-to-earth roles now and wants to move into a new territory altogether.
According to latest reports, Vidya Balan is all set to play the role of the southern sensation Silk Smitha. It's learnt that Vidya has given her nod for the project that will be directed by Milan Luthria and produced by Ekta Kapoor.
The film is tentatively titled DIRTY PICTURE and Vidya will play the lead in it. For her role, Vidya will undergo a special training to get the lip and hip movements right.
This will be one of the first films in Vidya's career that has a bold theme at the centre of its narrative. And most importantly, it would be interesting to see Vidya in a new avatar finally showing some more skin than she normally does.
