Highlights

  • Milan Luthria, director of Dirty Picture, has invited the lead pair of its new film Vidya Balan and Emraan Hashmi for an authentic Parsi dinner to help them break the ice before the two begin shooting for the biopic.
  • "Vidya and Emraan have not been formally introduced beyond a cordial hello. However, both are keen to work with each other. I thought my home would be a comfortable place for them to meet. Both know my wife well and so asked for Parsi food. My mother-in-law cooks superb Parsi food. She will make prawn patio, lamb chops and dal among other dishes. I plan to invite them home this weekend."
  • Milan says, "Vidya plays an actress while Emraan, a filmmaker. Their relation is extremely volatile and they are at loggerheads. They are on opposite sides morally and can't stand each other yet gravitate towards each other. I felt that to be able to portray such intensity on screen both needed to interact with each other in advance so as not to appear awkward on screen."
  • Luthria adds that the invite is more an exception than the rule. "My home is my fortress of privacy and I don't entertain filmi types. Ajay (Devgn) and John (Abraham) are the only other stars who have come home. I thought Emraan and Vidya would prefer to meet here rather than at a five-star coffee shop."
