Just a few weeks ago, a self obsessed Rakhi Sawant had claimed “do better and hotter scenes in the Bengali remake” of Vidya Balan’s The Dirty Picture (2011).
But here comes the hitch – Balaji Motion Pictures has sent a legal notice to producer-director Shatabdi Roy, also a MP.
Shatabdi however says that she isn’t making any such film. Though Rakhi Sawant, maintains her story. “I am leaving for Kolkata this week for the first shoot of the film. I can’t disclose the dates of the shooting. In fact, I met Vidya (Balan) recently at the Delhi airport. We were going to Mumbai on the same flight. She was seated next to me and wished me luck for the remake. She also advised me on how to go about my role. We had a detailed chat for about an hour on the film,” she says.
Shatabdi Roy, the director-producer of the rumoured Bengali ‘remake’ insists that her film is not going to be based on the 2011 blockbuster. “Let me clarify: my film is not a remake of TDP. In Bengal, such a subject or treatment (of a female actor) won’t be accepted. The subject might be similar in its appeal considering my film is also going to be about the life of an actor who does item numbers, but mine is going to be completely different. If I ever have to do a remake, I will do it in a proper way,” says Roy.
