Besides being the boldest film, THE DIRTY PICTURE is also a refreshing film for Vidya Balan as the dainty Bollywood actress got to live the 80s era up with it. She got the opportunity to do everything what an 80s actress would do.
Says Vidya, "THE DIRTY PICTURE is so much like 80s film. 80s was really a fun era to sing, dance and dress with. The polka dots, bell bottoms pants, big glairs, dancing amidst props (like oranges), posing like sculptures, etc...I have enjoyed it all and lived upto the fullest."
Another exciting part about the film is Vidya, who only donned uninteresting outfits in her career, gets to wear some glamourous outfits in THE DIRTY PICTURE. "For all the characters which I have played till date, I hardly had any costumes. With just two-three costumes my entire film would do. But for THE DIRTY PICTURE I have donned as many as 100 costumes," says the elated actress.
Vidya found exhilarating working for THE DIRTY PICTURE. "Not just emotionally but physically and mentally also this film has been exhausting and draining. But at the same time very very exhilarating mentally," said Vidya on a concluding note.
