Item numbers come home

If foreigners or B-town imports were the chosen ones for item numbers in Sandalwood for a while, it now seems that filmmakers are turning their attention to the talent back home.
In recent times, as many as five special numbers have been picturized on the industry's leading ladies.
One of the industry's most popular heroines, Ragini Dwivedi, has been roped in to do a special number in this Prem-Kriti Kharbanda starrer, which is the remake of the Tamil hit Subramanyapuram.Ragini, who already has a hit number Thuppa Thuppa (from Kalla Malla Sulla) to her credit, is hoping to make this special as well. "The song will have an 80s Sholay feel," is all she will tell us.
Actor Neethu recently shot for a special number for the film Bangalore Metro, as did Pooja Gandhi, who's been basking in the success of her film Dandupalya, for Director's Special. Aindrita Ray recently went all classical for her special number in the Shivarajkumar-Radhika Pandit starrer Kadipudi, while Suman Ranganath shimmied with Yogi for a Chikni Chameli inspired song in Jinke Marina.
