The director of upcoming controversial flick Dirty Picture, Milan Luthria called Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan to his house to have dinner together so that they get introduced to each other before the shooting starts.

 

Luthria said, "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."

 

He added, "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."
