Vidya's Dance is a lavani song not item number - Chopra

With the first teasers for 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari' the crowd is in anticipations for the teasers for the much promoted Vidya Balan item number in the movie. The audience has been eagerly waiting and media did try to hook up with Vidhu Vinod Chopra on the topic and he clarified that the song that Vidya is part of is a cameo in Lavani, and he doesn't want it to be called as an item number.  "I don't like the word, item number...it puts me off. Item number means our film is not good, so we got an item girl to do an item song. We are doing a 'lavani' (a Maharashtrian folk dance) in the film. The scene is a part of a wedding which Sharman attends in the film," says Chopra.

"The director (Rajesh Mapuskar) went to Pune to look for dancers. He messaged me from Pune and recommended Vidya, but I told him to leave it. He told me again to ask her so I sent a message to Vidya. She said she had been dying to do a 'lavani' for 15 years," he said. It is said that Vidya has already started the preparations for the movie. She has rehearsed 15 days for the songs and is said to be in the rhythm for the dance. With 'Chikni Chameli', the cameo by Katrina Kaif in Agneepath - Vidya Balan has a heavy task ahead of her to out do the song without getting compared. 

The collaboration with Vidya and Chopra had started from the early days and the two had given mighty hits like 'Parineeta' and 'Lage Raho Munnabhai'. When asked about the missing heroine in the latest movie Chopra was quick to respond "We don't make movies for leading men, leading women or item numbers. We don't believe in that. We believe in a good story that is well told," the filmmaker said. "I remember when 'Parinda' was released, a Punjab distributor told me that the film would flop because Jackie Shroff doesn't have a heroine, but the movie did well." Chopra added. Directed by debutant Rajesh Mapuskar, 'Ferrari Ki Sawari' stars Sharman Joshi and Boman Irani in the lead, and is slated to be released on June 15.
