In the Ekta Kapoor’s film The Dirty Picture,
Vidya had played the character of Silk Smitha – a yesteryear southern sex diva.
On the other hand, Humaima Malik was seen portraying a tough woman who fights
the patriarchal society in her movie.
There is competition from other
quarters for Vidya. The Korean actress Cho Min-soo has been nominated for Pieta. For Once
Upon a Time There Lived a Simple Woman, there will be the Russian actress Darya
Ekamasova in the fray.
Anurag Kashyap has also been
nominated for his recent film Gangs Of Wasseypur.
