Vidya Balan's The Dirty Picture has garnered thumbs up from B-Town celebs like Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor, Karan Johar and Mahesh Bhatt. Even the film critics have given it good reviews.
The conditions were pretty primitive. The place had no power and not even tarmac roads,” recalls Milan who, along with his team, bumped along to the resort, reaching there late in the night. “We woke up at 3 am and made our way out to be greeted by foxes and wild boars. Some of the crew lost their way in the wilderness and without mobiles, and tracing them was difficult.”
To add to the chaos, when they finally landed at the location, they were enthusiastically welcomed by lakhs of Emraan fans. “It was a predominantly Muslim-dominated place and though they all knew Vidya, it was Emraan they had come to see,” says the director.
And did they get to see what they had come to see? Emraan kissing Vidya? “No,” laughs Milan, “But they did see him do the other thing he’s good at, lip syncing a song.”
