Pakistani actress Veena Malik, who’s all set to start shoot for ‘Dirty Picture: Silk Sakkath Maga’ from March 17 will be restricted in Bangalore. With rules set for Pakistani citizens, Veena cannot venture out of the Garden City. “We were told she can shoot only at two places in Karnataka and even in Bangalore, she can shoot within the city’s limits,” says the director, who’s already planned his locations. “Initially, we had planned on a massive location hunt for the movie. Keeping this in mind, we are now planning to finish the talky portions here and we will have huge set up for the songs. Our next destination will be Sri Lanka, where there’ll be no restrictions on where we shoot. Moreover, it also connects our South Indian nativity.”
Apparently, Veena always gets stressed out when she visits India.
“We heard from her that whenever she lands in India, she has to first visit the CBI office and sit with them for about four hours. The actress might have to follow the same routine, when she’s in Bangalore too. In fact, she is ready to give us bulk dates, even ten days extra, if need be to complete the film at a stretch only because she doesn’t wish to face this problem. But we have different plans, which needs a lot of preparations and that prevents us from shooting the movie at one go,” says Trishul.
According to the director, the actress doesn’t mind facing such problems, as Veena is passionate about doing some good work. “She’s requested us to keep a copy of the English translation of the book. She has decided to bring down her own make-up artist, costume and fashion designer for this film,” he says.
