Leading Telugu and Tamil actress Anushka Shetty a.k.a. Anushka has agreed to perform an ‘item number’ in an upcoming Telugu film. Anushka is one of the most sought-after heroines in both the languages and reportedly commands and gets a hefty sum as her fee to star in these films. Considering her market value, producers hardly think twice before shelling out the money to be paid to her.
This year, Anushka has had a quite satisfactory stint in Tamil films. Both her films, though divergent in nature, earned her critical acclaim. While Vaanam showed her depicting the role of a sex-worker with ease, her second release Deivathirumagal had her playing a protagonist advocate out to seek justice to a mentally challenged person (played by Vikram) who was fighting against odds to get the custody of his daughter.

She has reportedly committed to dance for an ‘item number’ in an upcoming Telugu film titled Gabbar Singh. The film is the Telugu remake of the Bollywood hit film Dabbangg which starred Salman Khan and debutant Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles. Munni Badnaam Hui, which was hottie Mallika Arora-Khan’s ‘item number’ in the film, went on to become a huge hit and had become quite a rage across North India.
Anushka is all set to shake her sexy hips for the song equivalent to that of Munni…. in the Telugu version. Incidentally, Dabbangg has also been remade in Tamil as Osthe starring Simbu in the lead and is expected to release next Friday. Bollywood’s Hollywood-bound actress Mallika Sherawat has starred in the ‘item number’ in the Tamil version which has been sung by veterans L.R. Eswari and T.Rajendhar.
Anushka has said that she agreed to star in the dance sequence because she liked the song very much. Whatever be the case, we just can’t wait till Anushka’s ‘item number’ is filmed; can we?
