Vidya Balan has never exposed as much — but in the first look of The Dirty Picture, inspired by late southern sex icon Silk Smitha's life, she has painted a perfect picture in an itsy-bitsy red blouse matched with luscious red lipstick.

The actress stands undaunted even as three men — Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi — get too close for comfort in the poster, which was released on social networking sites on Friday.

"The poster and the logo of the film has a very 1980s feel to it because the movie is set in that period. We will be launching the first trailer of The Dirty Picture in Mumbai August 30," said Girish Johar, head of acquisition and distribution, Balaji Motion Pictures.

The film is set to release in December.
