London, June 21 (IANS) Actress Lindsay Lohan defends her controversial role of porn star Linda Lovelace in new movie ‘Inferno’ insisting the film is not ‘vulgar’ or ‘over sexually portrayed’.

‘The way Matthew Wilder (director) wants to shoot it is not vulgar. It’s not about the raw sex and the shots of her fully nude. It’s more about getting into her psyche and seeing how scared she was. That’s what I want to show most in the film,’ contactmusic.com quoted Lohan as saying.

‘People are going to say: ‘Oh, Lindsay Lohan is doing a porno.’ But it’s not like that. I’ve never played someone’s true-life story before. A lot of the other movies I did were just brainless for me. So it’s nice to play something where I’m able to experience all these different emotions,’ she added.

Lohan is due to begin filming the biopic later this year.
