"I have not seen the The Dirty Picture in Hindi, though I have heard that Vidya Balan has delivered an awesome performance in the film. But I really want to go one step ahead in my performance in this film," said Malek.
The actress, who rose to fame in India after her stint in controversial reality show Bigg Boss 4, said: "Please don't compare the Bollywood film with the Kannada film that I am doing now," she said.
This is her first Kannada film, and she is confident it will be appreciated.
"My first Kannada film has a good package of entertainment and sentimental scenes. I'm sure I will entertain the audience with my performance and at the same time they will also feel sorry for the trials that my character undergoes in the film.
"I will win the hearts of Kannadigas through this performance. I like the role," she added.
Malek said she can relate to her role in the film. "This is a different story and it connects well with all the struggling young women who want to make it big in their respective fields.
"I was moved after hearing the story as there were many incidents which I remembered incidents that happened in my life albeit in a different fashion."
The actress is even more excited as she has wrapped a "sexy" and "stylish" photo shoot for the film, insisting it will present her in Marilyn Monroe style.
