Pakistani actor Veena Malik, who has been roped in to play the lead role in the Kannada version of The Dirty Picture, is not inspired by actor Vidya Balan's Silk act in the original.

"When it comes to acting, I would not say I am inspired from Vidyaji because I have not seen her film, The Dirty Picture," Veena said at a photo shoot for her yet untitled debut music album.

"I was planning to see it but when I got the Kannada version of the film, I decided against it because I did not want my character to have any outside imprints. Everyone is appreciating Vidyaji and no doubt, she is a wonderful actress," she added.

Veena's Bollywood debut film Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai is ready to release and currently she is shooting for Mumbai 125 km and Zindagi 50-50. Recently, she has been in the news for her intimate pictures with her Mumbai 125 km producer Hemant Madhukar that were splashed in the media.
