There were reports in a section of the media that Anushka Shetty would replace Vidya Balan in the Telugu and Tamil remake versions of Bollywood hit The Dirty Picture. However, the Billa actress has denied it.

According to Anushka's spokesperson, she is currently busy with a string of films in Kollywood and Tollywood. 'She has not signed the remakes of The Dirty Picture. There is no such idea,' the spokesperson adds.

At present, Anushka is shooting for Selvaraghavan's Telugu-Tamil bilingual, which has Arya in the lead role. The movie's Tamil version has been named as Irandam Ulagam and the Telugu version is yet to have a title.

She is also shooting for another bilingual, which has Vikram in the lead. Titled Thaandavam, it is being directed by Vijay of Naana fame. Popular Tollywood star Jagapathi Babu is doing a crucial role in this film.
