Vidya Balan came out of nowhere to claim the National Award for her role in the movie The Dirty Picture, directed by Milan Luthria. Now, there is a lot of talk among the cine-fanatics down south, of a potential Tamil and Telugu remake of The Dirty Picture.

Reports claim that the makers of The Dirty Picture want to cast actress Anushka Shetty in the lead role, which was originally performed by Vidya Balan. The reasons which could have provoked the makers to opt for Anushka are, the fact that she is one of the best actresses around, and also her attitude to go to any extent for getting the demands of the character. These were exactly the same reasons for the success of Vidya Balan as well.

The story of this movie evolved from the life history of the late South-Indian sex icon Silk Smitha. She was very famous for her exotic roles in her movies.
