No 'Munni' or 'Sheila' for Geeta Basra
Saturday, 10 December 2011
As is a known fact by now, Geeta Basra has recently shot for an item number titled'Ghaziabad Ki Rani hoon Main' for ZILLA GHAZIABAD (Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi,Vivek Oberoi). Another fact which is relatively unknown is that to begin with, Geeta was apprehensive that the makers may just go ahead and shoot another 'Munni Badnaam' or 'Sheila Ki Jawaani'. Though she personally loves both the songs, she felt that the year gone by had seen so many imitations of the style and format as seen in 'Munnis' and 'Sheilas' of the world that it was about time to create something fresh and different.''If you look at it, t
here has been a 'Jalebi Bai' (DOUBLE DHAMAAL), 'Shalu Ke Thumke' (BIN BULAYE BARAATI), 'Chammak Challo Rani' (MILEY NAA MILEY HUM) and many more with everyone from Mallika Sherawat to Shweta Tiwari joining the race. Just like Kareena Kapoor who decided against calling her'Chammak Challo' as just another item number belonging to the mould of 'Sheila'and 'Munni', even Geeta checked with the makers about their strategy,'' says a friend of the actress.
This is when director Anand Kumar and choreographer Remo explained to her the concept of the song which is (obviously) set in Ghaziabad. While the song is as massy as it gets, what with the title itself reading 'Ghaziabad Ki Rani Hoon Main', Geeta too would be seen in a hot and sexy avatar.
''Yes, I enjoyed all the 'latka jhatka' and thankfully it is visually quite different when compared to many other item numbers that we have seen in recent times,' says Geeta, 'It was fun to get back into the mould. Trust me, I realised how much I was really missing the song and dance routine only after I started dancing to the beats.''
Well Geeta, we would want to see it for ourselves too.
