Geeta Basra is fine being 'Ghaziabad Ki Rani', not 'Munni' or 'Sheila'

 

It has been quite some time since she was last seen on the big screen.Geeta Basra is fine being 'Ghaziabad Ki Rani', not 'Munni' or 'Sheila'

 

However, Geeta Basra was sure that whenever she would return in a film,

 

it would be with a bang. This week, she has been seen again in 'lights,

 

camera and action' mode with the item number 'Ghaziabad Ki Rani' in

 

Zila Ghaziabad. However, contrary to popular perception, she decided

 

not to get into the 'Munni' and 'Sheila' mode and instead wanted to

 

carve a niche of her own.

 

"It's a full on 'dhinchaak' number that I have done for this film",

 

says Geeta, who was earlier seen in films like The Train and Dil

 

Diya Hai, both with Emraan Hashmi. "I was sure about one thing that

 

even if I do just an item number in a film, instead of a full fledged

 

role, it would have to be something special. When I heard this song, then I was convinced enough to do it. However, I also wanted to know

 

that how would it be eventually choreographed. It couldn't have been

 

run of the mill by any means."

 

Apparently, 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, there has been a 'Jalebi Bai' (Double Dhamaal),

 

'Shalu Ke Thumke' (Bin Bulaaye Baraati), 'Chammak Challo Rani' (Miley

 

Na 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 is being seen in a

 

hot and sexy avtar.

 

 

"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 realized how much I was really missing the song and

 

dance routine only after I started dancing to the beats."

 

She isn't willing to comment on speculations around her personal life

 

though. Even though a segment of media has already declared that she

 

is marrying Harbhajan Singh later next year, Geeta begs off from the

 

conversation. "Please, I have work related matters to talk about, so

 

why not stick to that", she says.

 

Sure Geeta, point noted.
