The Dirty Picture (2011) Telugu

Balaji and Alt Entertainment’s The Dirty Picture (A) is the story of a struggling actress, Reshma (Vidya Balan), and how she makes it big in the glamour world.

Reshma runs away from home on the day she is to get married as she dreams of a career as a leading lady in films. After a lot of hardships, she gets to show her dancing skills in a film. The film’s director, Abraham (Emraan Hashmi), deletes the sexy song from the film as he is against sex-laden songs in his film. However, producer Selva Ganesh (Rajesh Sharma) adds the song and turns a flop film into a successful one. He now decides to launch Reshma as a leading lady in his next film as he sees a lot of potential in her. Rechristening her Silk, Selva Ganesh introduces her in a film with superstar Surya (Naseeruddin Shah). However, it’s not so easy for Silk who has to sell her body to win the superstar’s favour and not be thrown out of the film by him.

Silk soon becomes a big star as success kisses her feet. Of course, Surya won’t let her forget how it was because of him that she was a superstar today. His sexual escapades with Silk become regular.

Even as Silk’s career is on a roll, director Abraham falls upon bad times. But he is still wary of Silk who uses her sexuality on screen to entice the audience.

Silk begins to resent Surya’s sexual advances towards her and she soon finds a sympathiser in Ramakant (Tusshar), the younger brother of Surya and a struggling film writer. Much to Surya’s annoyance, Silk has an open affair with Ramakant. Although Ramakant is a good soul, he doesn’t have the courage to stand by Silk because of pressures from his elder brother. In disgust, Silk walks out on Ramakant.
