Namitha throws her hat in ring for The Dirty Picture

Voluptuous Namitha, who is badly in need of a hit, has thrown her hat in the ring for The Dirty Picture Tamil version. The tough battle to bag the female lead in the forthcoming movie has just begun with her open announcement on the actress' desire to star in the remake.

Namitha has said that she wishes to reprise the role of yesteryear sex siren Silk Smitha. If she's offered the film, the actress without a second thought is willing to star in the remake of The Dirty Picture. The interesting part is that the glam doll went on to say that she could have a cut in her paycheque in order to bag the film.

She further adds that Silk Smitha was a sensation in 80s and 90s and enjoyed a massive fan following. Meanwhile, Trisha Krishnan, Anushka Shetty and many others have turned down the offer. There were also buzz that Nikita and Richa Gangopadhyay were also approached but nothing was materialised.

On the other end, The Dirty Picture Kannada version starring Pakistani actress Veena Malik and Malayalam version featuring Sana Khan have already kick-started.
