The Pakistani starlet Veena Malik has started work on the Kannada remake of ‘The Dirty Picture’, which is being produced by Venkatappa and being directed by Trishuli.

As per the reports, Ekta Kapoor, who produced the original film, was quite unhappy with the remake. So much so that she even lodged a complaint against Venkatappa.

Tanuj Garg, CEO, Balaji Motion Pictures, “Legal notices have been sent to those trying to pass off The Dirty Picture as their film by using a title that we own and by piggy-backing on its value.”

The film is being made in both Telugu and Tamil versions but this time instead of Vidya Balan, Veena Malik and Rakhi Sawant will play the role of Silk Smitha.

To confirm the news the actresses were asked but they couldn’t clear things on the issue.

While Rakhi had said, “Is it? I have no idea about this notice. It is really bad if the news is true,” Veena Malik had said, “This is between two producers and I have not been informed about this.”

However, now things have been cleared because the director Trishuli has claimed that KFC has passed the title of the movie and they are all set to make it.

Trishuli explained the media that the remake which he is making has a completely different storyline but he has kept the same title since he thinks it is the most suitable one for the movie.

“I have written a fresh story and it has a lot of native elements that is peculiar to Karnataka. But I thought the title, ‘The Dirty Picture’, will suit the story very well.

“The title has been cleared by KFC and we are legally bound to use it for the film.”

Well, all said and done, let’s see how Ekta Kapoor responds to this statement.
