Item numbers are not my cup of tea, Kangana Ranaut
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, whose last success came with Tanu Weds Manu, now stars in director Vishwas Patil’s Rajjo. The film talks about the issue of mujra houses that are dying a slow death in today's world of competition and the changing social order.
Kangana, who plays a mujrawali in the film, has performed on the song Kaleja Hai Hajir... Khanjar Kahan Hai. Not many know that the curly-haired actress is a trained Kathak dancer, and that helped Kangana in showing her prowess in this dying dance form.
The song, written by Dev Kohli and Sameer, is composed by Uttam Singh and choreographed by Ganesh Acharya. Gung-ho about her dance, Kangana says, "Item numbers are not my cup of tea. The mujra songs in Rajjo can't be called item numbers. They are authentic and a tribute to world-renowned Kathak exponent Gopi Krishna. I am enjoying every bit of dancing that I am getting to do in this film."
Rajjo, produced by Four Pillars Entertainment, releases later in 2013.
