Move over 'Sheila', 'Chikni chameli' is here...

Katrina In Chikni Chameli Avtar

Katrina Kaif can move, and how! The Britain-born actress might have taken time in perfecting her

Hindi accent, but Bollywood's latka-jhatkas is something she has mastered, and proves with her latest

 item song "Chikni chameli".

　

Industry members are smitten with the song. They feel it will definitely be a USP of Karan Johar's

remake of his father's classic 'Agneepath', and overshadow "Munni", "Sheila", "Shalu" and "Jalebi

bai" item numbers.

Composed by national award-winning duo Ajay-Atul, the spicy song, sung by Shreya Ghoshal, is the

 Hindi version of their own Marathi hit "Kombadi palali".


The lyrics of the number, penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, are as cheesy as they could get, but the

rhythm is extremely peppy and catchy. And Katrina's vigorous moves and sensual expressions,

 choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, go in total sync.


The 26-year-old had set a benchmark with "Sheila ki jawaani" last year, but with this song, she has

 surpassed it with her killer desi look.


'Agneepath' director Karan Malhotra is all smiles and believes Katrina has done full justice to the

 song.

"I think the way the song was made, it was so wonderful, that only a topmost actress could have done

 justice to the song. And as far as Katrina is concerned, her USP is that she has never been seen in

 any film in that kind of zone that 'Chikni chameli' is in...which is why she also stands out in that

atmosphere and that is why the song is catching a lot of eyeballs," Malhotra said at the music premiere of 'Agneepath'.


A 30-second promo of the song was first launched, followed by an over two minutes-long video on

 YouTube. The video has registered over 3 million hits so far, and producer Karan Johar is ecstatic.


"The nation is singing and dancing to 'Chikni chameli', so I am really excited about it. It is already an

 established big hit song," Johar said.


According to Atul Gogavale, "Katrina spent eight days in rehearsal before starting to shoot the song.

 It took nine days to finish the shoot, and her energy levels never saw a dip."


"This song has a very high tempo and requires speed in steps. Even if I or someone else wants to

dance to it, you cannot match up to the tempo for more than two minutes. But Katrina just took it to

another level. She has left us speechless," he said.


Celebrities from the film fraternity feel Katrina has raised the bar of item numbers with her energetic

 dance steps.


Writer Milap Zaveri tweeted: "Katrina's dance steps in 'Chikni Chameli' are too brilliant and

energetic! But there should be a disclaimer saying 'Don't try this at home!'"


"'Chikni chameli' from 'Agneepath' is just outstanding. I have never seen an actress dance like

Katrina does - she raises the bar to another level," tweeted Ritesh Deshmukh, who recommended

Ajay-Atul as composers for the film.


Even choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant, who has choreographed item numbers like "Kajra re" says

 she is in awe of Katrina's effort.


"Katrina is looking very good in 'Chikni Chameli' and I told Karan (Johar) about it. I really loved it

 and whenever Katrina comes and does a song like this, you know what the effect is," she said.


The action-drama slated for a Jan 26, 2012 release, features Hrithik Roshan as Vijay Dinanath

Chauhan, originally played by megastar Amitabh Bachchan in Chandan Barot's directorial venture of

 the same name.



Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt and Rishi Kapoor will also be seen in key roles in the movie.



The true beaty Katrina Turquotte Kaif

Name : Katrina Kaif Date of Birth: 16th July 1984
Birth Place: Hong Kong
Height: 5' 9"
First Movie: Boom (2003)
Hair Color : Black
Profession : Actress

She is half- Indian, her Father belongs to Kashmir (INDIA), and mother is British.

No.1 position at FHM India's 100 Sexiest Women World Poll in 2008.


Katrina grew up in Hawaii, but was brought up in London, UK. She started modeling accidentally when she was in Hawaii at the tender age of 14, when she was approached for a jewelery campaign. Thereafter she continued modeling in London.

Continuing to model was the reason she got her break in a Bollywood movie "Boom" offered by none other than film-maker Kaizad Gustad.

She was flooded with modeling assignments the minute she set her foot on Indian soil, especially with her innocent expressive face, hour-glass figure, and drop-dead gorgeous looks.

Professionally she started off as a model with photographer Atul Kasbekar, and upon being accepted, she received offers from LG, Cola, Fevicol, Lakme, & Veet. It was the Lakme commercial that got her noticed. She retained Matrix as her Manager to accept work on her behalf and at the price she deserved.

Moving to different culture and country was not much of a culture shock for her, as she states that no matter where you come from, the bottom line is that everyone wants to be loved, respected, and cared for.

Unlike other artistes from foreign lands, Katrina did not experience any difficulties in getting a visa nor of getting it extended in India.

Talking about her movies Katrina said that though she kick started her career with Boom, her first real step in Bollywood is through her movie ‘Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya’ with Salman Khan. Katrina added, "I think Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya’ would be considered my first real step into Bollywood. I did it with my eyes open."
