Tusshar Kapoor, who has shed his guy-next-door image, for his upcoming movie ‘The Dirty Picture’ says he is not perturbed of being dubbed as a ‘soft porn’ star. Tusshar will seen in the Milan Luthria film, a biopic based on the life and death of Silk Smitha, alongside Vidya in a bold avatar, besides Emraan Hashmi and veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah. “There are lots of shades to my character. It is not something that will get overshadowed by the title. My image is not going to be damaged. Today, sex is not a taboo anymore. Even if I get a soft porn image I don`t have a problem with that,” Tusshar told reporters in an interview. The actor essays the role of a writer named Ramakant. While Ramakant is genuinely in love with the character portrayed by Vidya, veteran actor Naseeruddin plays the character of an ageing superstar who lusts after her. While Emraan on the other hand hates her. The are some intimate scenes in the film but the actor says he wasn’t uncomfortable doing it. Also, he had to lift Vidya for a photo shoot of ‘The Dirty Picture’. Since Vidya had put on weight for her role, Tusshar could not get his act right and ended up giving over 150 shots.
