Mallika Sherawat turns item girl down south

The Bollywood siren is getting ready to shake her booty down south.

Mallika Sherawat seems to be in a mood for an elongated southern sojourn. After an important role in Kamal Haasan's movie Dasavatharam, she will now perform in an item number in a Kannada film by Ashwini Ram Prasad.

The movie, titled Preethi Eke Bhoomi Melidhe is the first film of director Prem as an actor. Tamanna is the film’s heroine.

It is learnt that before giving her nod to the item number in the film, Mallika insisted on hearing the song, which has been composed by R P Patnayak. The song will be shot in November in a six-day schedule.

Offers from the south Indian film industry have been pouring in regularly for Mallika. She was approached with an offer to do an item number in Murugadoss’s latest release Stalin. However, Mallika declined the offer. She rather opted to do the item in Mani Ratnam’s forthcoming film Guru.
