Mallika Sherawat as ‘Shalu’ copies ‘Munni’ and ‘Sheila’

‘Munni’ and ‘Sheila’ have created such milestones in the field of item number that Mallika Sherawat’s new item number ‘Shalu ke thumke’ featuring in the forthcoming film ‘Bin Bulaye Baraati’ has literally copied the steps from the two hit item numbers.

Choreographer Ganesh Acharya justifies this action by saying that since the song has a line which says ‘Munni bhi maani aur Sheila bhi maani, Shalu ke thumke ki duniya deewani’, the film’s team pressurized that the trademark dance steps from the two songs should reflect in Mallika’s moves and Ganesh’s objections were quickly shouted down.

Producer Prakash Jaju also confirmed Acharya’s statement saying, “It was Anand Raj Anand’s idea, and we liked it. We offered Mallika a choice of two item songs and she chose this one. We offered the other one to Shweta Tiwari.”

However Farah Khan seems cool about all this controversy and brushes off this entire hullaboo by saying, “I haven’t seen it. Maybe they are just spoofing the Sheila and Munni steps.”
