Katrina’s item song not lavani, mine will be: Mugdha Godse

Please share

It seems that actor Katrina Kaif's sizzling item number Chikni Chameli hasn't gone down well with Mugdha Godse.

The Marathi mulgi, who was in the city recently, said that the lavani-inspired song definitely doesn't fall in the Maharashtrian folk dance space. "I've seen the song, but it is not lavani. The item number is inspired by a very popular Marathi song titled Kombdi Pallali and it is a very catchy number. Nevertheless, it is a well done piece and hats off to Katrina for pulling off the energetic steps," she says, adding, "But lavani is very different and you will see me doing a lavani in my first Marathi film, which is the remake of Laadla."

Mugdha would have made her foray into regional films earlier in a Tamil film, the Prakash Rai production Dhoni, but things didn't work out. "I want to do a Tamil film, but somehow things have not been working out. There were some date issues, so I had to opt out of the project," she explains.

The actor, whose career graph went downhill after her debut in Fashion, admits that her recent films haven't been standouts at the box office. While All The Best was a commercial success, Help and Jail, despite being critically acclaimed, failed to set the BO on fire. "Destiny plays a very important part in life. After Fashion became a huge hit, my other films did not get great numbers. There was a time when I felt nothing much was happening, but every actor goes through a lull in his or her career. I'm glad that phase is over for me," she says. Meanwhile, Mugdha, who has switched to comedy, hopes her second lease of life in B-town will give her a good head start this year. The actor has three films lined up for release, and is awaiting the release of an Akshaye Khanna-starrer based on corruption. "I'm doing a romantic comedy, Will You Marry Me?, with Rajeev Khandelwal and Shreyas (Talpade). It is a very young film based on wedding destinations," she says.

Up next, she has a dark comedy, Oh God Saare Fraud, lined up with Shreyas in which she plays an undercover cop. "Comedy seems to be the flavour of the season and I have already tried my hand at the genre in All The Best," she signs off.
