"I will change the definition of an item number" - Neetu Chandra

There have been item girls and there would be item girls. However, Neetu Chandra insists that her debut as an item girl would be special. Reason? She insists that her item number in Summer 2007 would be the mother of all item numbers as it would not just create an all around sensation but also change the very definition of an item number.
"In Summer 2007 I have performed on this item number called 'Baali Main Sone Waali'. Now this is what I would call as a hardcore dance number. It is a number with a 'desi' feel to it and is in the same lines as that of Madhuri Dixit's 'Humko Aaj Kal Hai' from the film Sailaab."
Well, isn't it quite a tall order, especially since the comparisons may be with none other than Madhuri Dixit.
"No one can dream of taking of Madhuri", replies Neetu, "When I talk about 'Baali Main Sone Waali', I am talking about comparisons with the kind of item numbers that we see today. Now this one is truly different because it shows that how a song can be hot and sensuous even without any cleavage show."
Ruing her lack of song and dance routine in films like Garam Masala, Traffic Signal and One Two Three, Neetu goes on to add, "Somehow I have been unlucky when it comes to 'real dance'. But now with 'Baali', I see the ice breaking. I have waited long for this opportunity and now when it has finally come my way, I have given it my all to ensure that my dancing 'keeda' is satisfied."
"See, I am a trained dancer and it was nothing short of being criminal on part of my film makers not to have utilized my dancing skills", jokes Neetu Chandra, "However, producer Atul Pandey and directed Suhail Tatari thought that I would fit in well as an item girl for Summer 2007. Well, it's their gain!"
Summer 2007 is all set for a 13th June release and days before the film hits the theaters, Neetu's item song would be on the air.
"My producers have promised me that they would bombard the song all over to make a sudden impact. We all understand the power of the song. Now the ball is going to be in the audience's court, who I am sure would make a beeline for the song", concludes Neetu.
Written by Vibha Singh, 'Baali Main Sone Waali' is sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and composed by Gourov Dasgupta of Dus Kahaniyaan fame.
