Activists protest against Veena Malek in Dirty Picture


                     Pakistani actress Veena Malek

Activists of right wing outfit Sri Rama Sene on Monday staged a protest against casting of controversial Pakistani actress Veena Malek in the Kannada version of The Dirty Picture movie and demanded her replacement with an Indian actress.

The protesters, led by Sri Ram Sene President Pramod Muthalik, shouted slogans and wanted to know why the makers of The Dirty Picture: Silk Sakkath Hot Magahad cast her when there are many talented Indian actress who can fit into the role.

The Hindi version of the film, which was an unofficial biopic of southern sex symbol Silk Smitha, starred Vidya Balan.

Last year, All India Muslim Tyohar Committee in Bhopal had issued a fatwa against Malek and ex-communicated her for “objectionable” photos on the internet and for degrading the sacred institution of “nikah” by signing a contract to choose a groom on a reality show.
