Milan Luthria recalls overcoming hurdles in 'The Dirty Picture' as the film clocks 12 years. The biographical musical drama, inspired by the life of Silk Smitha, faced casting challenges but Vidya Balan's selection prevailed. Filming presented another obstacle as Vidya's image conflicted with her character, but a quick transformation by Vikram Gaikwad brought Reshma to life. Distributors raised concerns about the title, but Ektaa Kapoor's determination ensured the film's release. Emraan Hashmi, who played the role of Abraham, a courageous film producer, reflects on the film's bold narrative and its profound connection with audiences. 'The Dirty Picture' broke molds, won three National Awards, and set a new tone in the industry.
