Bollywood’s item queen, Malaika Arora Khan, has scored another hit number with Anarkali Disco Chali from the impending 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 folk 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 after they asked me to be part of the event, it went without saying that I MIGHT extend my support,” says Malaika.
Ask the ‘Munni badnaam hui…’ performer about her first gig as Anarkali and she or he chuckles, “I am looking ahead to it. After all, it will likely be my first live show with the song. My son (Arhaan) could also be very thinking about it. He actually desires to see some of the 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, an even 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 in regards to the item number and he or she says with a smile, “We haven’t taken a decision yet. So, I'D only say, ‘let’s wait and watch.’”
