Mumbai: Katrina Kaif might have bid goodbye to her glamorous image for Prakash Jha’s ‘Rajneeti,’ yet the actress is quite wary of her staid role in the flick and wants to be a part of an item song in the same!However, director Prakash Jha does not want the actress to deviate from her sombre avatar and do jhatkas and matkas in ‘Rajneeti’. News has it that despite donning a sombre role in ‘Rajneeti,’ Katrina longs to be part of a club song whereas Jha is looking for another actress to perform in the item number. Talking to a news daily, a close source said, “No matter how serious his films are Prakash Jha usually makes it a point to have one much-talked about song. For ‘Rajneeti,’ he has a club mix hip-hop number composed by Pritam. Katrina, who is the film's lead actress, has expressed a keen interest in being part of the song.” “However, Jha feels that he should get another established actress for the song and has already spoken to some likely candidates. Katrina clearly doesn't want to give up on her image as a commercial actress and wants to feature in the song as after the initial few scenes in ‘Rajneeti,’ she goes completely de-glam. Getting to dance to this masala number was perhaps her way of ensuring that her sexy image remains intact. But knowing Jha he will get some other actress for the item song.” When enquired, Prakash Jha, the director, confirmed the news and said, “Yes, we have a club song which Katrina is extremely keen to do. But, I have yet to decide on several aspects of the song. Ranbir (Kapoor, lead actor of ‘Rajneeti’) is definitely not part of the song and I will soon finalise who will feature in the number.” However, when contacted, Katrina Kaif, the actress, blankly denied the news and said “Rubbish. I don't know anything about this.”
