Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan took off to Hyderabad a few days back to shoot for their romantic number in The Dirty Picture.
Composed by Vishal & Shekhar, the sufi-style number, among the film’s many highlights, is being shot at the exotic Bidar Fort, which is a few hours’ drive from Hyderabad.
The tourism authorities are hoping for a boost to the area once the track releases on mass media.
Upon their return, there will be a final shooting schedule in Mumbai, after which the film’s photography stands complete, before the end of the month.
About his character in the film Emraan told IANS, “I play a movie director who believes in artistic cinema. He is one who doesn’t really give a damn about commercial viability of a film. He would rather make a film, which critics will appreciate; he sticks to his guns creatively, never budges from his creative instincts of a film and the content the film. It’s a very different character that I haven’t played before.”
And working with co-star Vidya? “Vidya is a great actress. Our combination is new. It’s a great experience working with her. Every character in the film is very intriguing and interesting; so we share a very different kind of chemistry on screen.”
The Dirty Picture, directed by Milan Luthria and also starring Tusshar and Naseeruddin Shah releases worldwide on December 2.
