Vidya Balan seems to be the hottest news item ever since she agreed to play Silk Smitha in the yesteryear actress's bio pic. The movie, titled Dirty Picture, is subjecting Vidya Balan to a makeover, to resemble the South Indian dusky star. The movie's producer Ekta Kapoor had advised Vidya to shed some weight, for which the actress readily agreed. Now to add more curves to Vidya, the actress has been advised to sport a butt pad to make her bottom more curvy.

Producer Ekta Kapoor is pinning her hopes on Dirty Picture, and believes the movie will bring the same success Ragini MMS delivered. Ekta and Vidya Balan had earlier said that the movie wouldn't be on sleaze and skin show, but will essay a poignant tale of a popular actress, her downfalls in life, and the circumstances which forced her to kill herself. Dirty Picture began production on May 20th, and will hit screens in November.
