The wait is finally over for all those who missed to catch The Dirty Picture on silver screen and were on their toes to watch it on small screen when Sony TV announced to premiere it.

Buzz states that TDP will be finally be aired on small screen. It is notable that earlier, after the announcement, the flick was not aired on Sony due to some issues claimed by Information and Broadcasting Ministry.

Sneha Rajani, senior executive vice president and business head, Sony, said on Twitter, “It will be showcased twice in the day - once at 12 p.m. and then at 8:30 p.m. The film will be screened not post 11 p.m., as reported." For the uninitiated, the film has been under the scanner strictly and has got 59 edits before being slotted for being broadcasted on TV.

The film has the story of a South actress Silk Smitha portrayed by Vidya Balan, who got carried away by the stardom and glamour and later repented ending up her life. "We are very elated and happy that finally after receiving accolades and moolah all across the globe, our National award-winning film will make it to TV screens as well for home-viewing audiences to be entertained all across", said Girish Johar, head of acquisition and distribution, Balaji Motion Pictures expressing his joy.

It’s better to be late than never!
