'The Dirty Picture' required me to be unapologetic: Vidya

Vidya Balan's dare bare act in her upcoming film " The Dirty Picture" is the talk of the town. The actress confesses that in the beginning, it was not easy for her to play the ultra-sensuous role.

"There was a certain amount of mental preparation about being uninhibited and being unapologetic about being uninhibited...But I have enjoyed it," said Vidya here during the promotion of her film, which depicts the rise and fall of a sex-siren in the 1980s and 1990s.

Known for her poise and grace in "Parineeta" and "Paa", she is eagerly waiting for the Milan Luthria directed film, which also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Emran Hashmi.

"Everyone knows about 'Dirty Picture' and are excited about the film. I feel very happy about this. I cannot wait for it to release. I just hope everyone reaches the theatre," Vidya said about the movie releasing Dec 2.

Vidya starrer "No One Killed Jessica", based on ramp model Jessica Lall's murder, started the year on a positive note as the film earned both commercial success and critical acclaim. She also made guest appearances in "Thank You" and " Dum Maaro Dum".

Now, expectations are high from "The Dirty Picture", and people are hoping when the film comes out next month, it sets the cash registers ringing and spells good business for the industry.
