Item girl Rakhi Sawant is ready to star within the Bengali remake of The Dirty Picture and she or he says she is going to be better than National Award winning actress Vidya Balan.
The 33-year-old will play a sex siren within the untitled film to be directed by Bengali actress-turned-politician Shatabdi Roy and she or he says her film will set more tongues wagging than the original.
"The film is predicated at the lifetime of an item girl and it's only befitting that I tackle the role as I'M the unique item girl of Bollywood. I LOVE Vidya so much. I BELIEVE she is a brilliant actress and she or he did a really perfect job within the film. But now it's my turn and that i will do a greater ooh lala than her. After this film I HOPE that everybody will chant only my name," Rakhi said.
Tollywood actor and member of Parliament Tapas Pal is producing the film.
Besides numerous item songs and television shows, the Pardesiya girl has also done small parts in films like Main Hoon Na, Mumbai Xpress, Dil Bole Hadippa and she or he says she is worked up about her first film as an entire fledged actress.
"I have only done item songs and done small parts in films. This may increasingly be the first actual time that I'LL BE doing a whole fledged film with dialogues, song and dance and that too in Bengali. I'VE already done an item song in Shatabdi's film Om Shanti. I'M learning Bengali because I NEED to dub for myself. I'VE asked the director to provide me the entire Bengali script written in Hindi," she said.
She could also be known for her bold image however the actress says she is both thrilled and nervous about shooting intimate scenes within the film as she hasn't ever done it before.
"I could be doing intimate scenes for the primary time. I'M nervous about it because I HAVE NOT done it before. I take inspiration by watching films of Emraan Hashmi and Mallika Sherawat and that i think after the film I WILL BE ABLE TO get the title of Miss serial kisser of Bollywood," she added.
Though the quest for the male actors for the film continues to be on, Rakhi has her own list on her mind.
"I want Victor Banerjee to play the role essayed by Nasseruddin Shah, Jeet as Tusshar and Prosenjit as Emraan Hashmi," she said.
Off late actresses like Vidya Balan, Katrina Kaif, Chitrangada Singh are doing item songs in films but Rakhi isn't threatened.
"Nowadays heroines are doing everything from acting to item songs. They're jumping into the territory of item girls. They now know that a romantic song with the hero is not going to take them anywhere but a four minute item song can get them maximum exposure. I LOVE Kareena and Katrina but only as actors not as item girls. But I'M REALLY NOT threatened in any respect. I'VE my very own place. I'M the unique item girl and can always be so," Rakhi said.
Before her big venture, Rakhi may be seen in an item song lattoo in director Anil Balani's film Rakhtabeej, where she's going to be seen creating a top dance on her belly.
"I had an overly difficult time shooting for the song. The highest (lattoo) was rotating on my belly and that i was injured with the iron pin. I even needed to take injection. I also needed to wear a 56 kgs lehenga for the song and was unable to transport an inch throughout the song. But within the end, I had a good time as I enjoy dancing so much. I'M pleased with the best way the song has turned out," she said.
When asked why she still chooses to join small films, she said, "I WILL NOT afford to attend for giant films. So I absorb small films as they supply maximum exposure. I'VE worked in lots of big budget films but I DO NOT mind being a part of B-grade films either," she said.
