Bollywood’s item queen, Malaika Arora Khan, has scored another hit number with Anarkali Disco Chali from the approaching Housefull 2. And the song’s popularity have been instrumental in making the Super Fight League (SFL) organisers rope her in for a performance on the opening ceremony in Chandigarh on April 7.
“For me, the primary reason was SFL’s novelty factor. However the driver behind accepting the offer was the folks who're involved with the sporting event – Raj (Kundra), Shilpa (Shetty) and Sanju (Sanjay Dutt). I DO KNOW they all on a private level. So once they asked me to join the event, it went without saying that I'D extend my support,” says Malaika.
Ask the ‘Munni badnaam hui…’ performer about her first gig as Anarkali and he or she chuckles, “I am looking ahead to it. After all, it is going to be my first live show with the song. My son (Arhaan) may be very fascinated about it. He actually desires to see one of the most live fights too,” Malaika adds.
Bipasha Basu had performed on the mixed martial arts’ inaugural fight night on March 11 in Mumbai. Kundra explains why they didn’t book the Jism star for his or her opening ceremony too, saying, “Malaika has some great songs, is super sexy and, above all, a fair dancer. We strive and select the most productive performers all of the time, and because it’s a televised event, we can’t repeat our entertainers.
That’s why Bipasha wasn’t chosen again.”
While her plate is full preparing for her upcoming live performance, Malaika may additionally be reprising her Munni avatar in Salman Khan’s Dabangg 2.
Ask her concerning the item number and she or he says with a smile, “We haven’t taken a decision yet. So, I MIGHT only say, ‘let’s wait and watch.’”
