For all his politically charged cinema, Prakash Jha sure comes across as an unlikely lover of item songs. In all his films post 1985's Damul, he has included an item song in all his films. He has just finished shooting one for his latest, Raajneeti.
He admits that he adores item songs, "The item songs in my films don't bring the story to a halt but actually moves the plot forward. I love them and enjoy shooting them. They've been part of all my films since Damul."
Her 'debut'
Television actress Barkha Bisht will be Raajneeti's item girl. Barkha, who shares a long-distance marriage with her husband Indraneil Sengupta, shot for the song last week, she danced to a sizzling track Ishq Barse Hai Boondan Boondan choreographed by Bosco-Ceaser.
Prakash chose Barkha since he decided to go with an absolutely fresh-faced girl who can dance. His daughter Disha made the final selection.
Says Barkha, "The item song in Raajneeti is my big-screen debut. I chose to start my film career with a dance because I've been on reality shows on television and have the confidence to carry it off. Also, this is a big film. And I will be noticed. Better an item in a big film than a lead in a film that no one will watch."
