Naseer is the boldest in `The Dirty Picture`, says Emraan

Bollywood`s `serial kisser` Emraan Hashmi feels that veteran actor and co-star Naseeruddin Shah has got bolder and dirtier in their upcoming film `The Dirty Picture`, inspired by late Southern sex siren Silk Smitha`s life.

"As far as the bold quotient goes...I am doing my own bold stuff but Naseer is the boldest in the film. I think he has taken all my mantle in the film and he is doing what I use to normally do in films," Emraan, who earned the `serial kisser` tag after Anurag Basu`s `Murder`, told reporters.

On scenes with the senior actor, Hashmi said, "We had two-three short scenes..there is a premiere and party shots but not many. They cross paths as they are in the same industry. Naseer is an actor, Tusshar is a struggling writer, Vidya is an actress. As you are being part of same industry so you end up meeting people."

The Milan Luthria-directed movie sees Emraan essaying the role of a director. The actor claims that the film would have been incomplete without casting him.

"Everyone...everything is dirty in this film. It is the dirtiest film I have done. You cannot make a dirty picture without Emraan Hashmi," he said.

`The Dirty Picture` is inspired by sex icon Vijaylakshmi better known as Silk Smitha. The film shows the highs and lows of an actress-dancing star.
