Vidya Balan's condition to play Silk Smitha role

We had earlier reported that actress Vidya Balan will be playing yesteryear South Indian screen seductress Silk Smitha on screen for Ekta Kapoor's Dirty Picture, a biopic on the late Silk Smitha. Vidya Balan initially accepted this role which requires a liberal skin show, but now, she actress has come up with conditions. She recently told Ekta to avoid showing her cleavage excessively, but she would be comfortable appearing in backless outfits.

Silk Smitha, originally from Eluru, Andhra debuted in movies with the Tamil movie Vandi Chakkaram (1979). Smitha garnered attention for her glamourous roles played throughout the 80's and 90's in South Indian movies. At age 35, Smitha committed suicide in a deeply distressed state after a failed attempt producing movies and unsuccessful romantic relationships.
