No cell phones on sets of Dirty Pictures: Ekta Kapoor

Directors and producers are now-a-days careful of not revealing the new looks of their protagonist. Ekta Kapoor is taking care of her forthcoming film Dirty Pictures in the same way. She has totally banned the presence of cell phones on the sets of the film. She wants to keep it a secret and the curiosity of the fans alive by not disclosing the looks of Vidya Balan.

Vidya Balan is playing the role of the sex bomb Silk Smitha. Ekta wants Vidya’s looks to be a mystery till the very end. She does not want to become a Karan Johar. Karan Johar had tried to keep the character of Hrithik Roshan under the wraps. However, the looks finally got leaked.

Keeping this example before her, Ekta is all but strict about Vidya Balan’s character of Silk Smitha being a mystery until the very end. She is so particular about it that, even the visitors are asked to leave their cell phones behind and only then enter.

It would be surprising to know that even the actors and the crew and the staff members have also been ‘warned’ to do away with their cell phones before coming on the sets.

Vidya Balan not to add weight for Silk Smitha’s role in Dirty Picture

It has been quite a few days that Vidya Balan is in the news for her characterization of Silk Smitha in Dirty Picture. For the role, the actress was asked to put on some extra weight – as Silk Smitha was a tad fleshier than what Vidya Balan today is.

To suit the role of Silk Smith and to get into the character a bit more, it would be excellent if Vidya puts on some more kilos. However, taking into account her other engagements and the dates that she has already allocated, it would be highly impossible for Vidya to put on the weight and again get in shape for her next project in time.

But what is the way out of all this? So, the solution was to use the skills of the makeup men and cosmeticians and make Vidya look “voluptuous” – exactly how Smitha looked. One source close to the film producer Ekta Kapoor has said that, it is high time Vidya gained some weight for those scenes for which she should have been ready until now.

Prosthetics will now come in handy for the celebrated producer. Is it too late for Ekta Kapoor to inform Vidya about the increase in weight? Had it been so, would she have managed to gain weight? Then would she have lost it again for her next film?

Well, the questions are innumerable. But the production team seems to have found the answer. (Would Vidya had increased the weight had she done what she is doing in the picture earlier?)
