Anarkali is different from Munni: Malaika Arora Khan

Malaika Arora Khan tells MiD DAY about her next item song and more in an exclusive during her touch-and-go visit to town yesterday

Your next item number is Anarkali Chali Disco for Sajid Khan's Housefull 2.
I have collaborated with Farah Khan yet again. I dance with Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Ritesh Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade, Mithun Da and Boman Irani in the song.

It was great fun as this is not the first time I'm working in this environment, which is a Sajid Khan film. I have been a part of all his films.

I truly believe Farah, who has choreographed this number as well, is very talented and manages to do something different every time and bring out the best. So, I'm quite excited.

The success of Munni Badnam Hui can be partially attributed to its risque lyrics. What are the lyrics of Anarkali like?
They're not risque. It's a completely different song. Munni was very tongue-in cheek and had a North Indian feel to it. The reason I decided to do it is because it's very different from Munni. It's a hardcore disco song. I'm wearing club wear. We have finished shooting it in Mumbai. The film releases in May.

What's keeping you busy right now?
Right now what's keeping me really busy is pre production of Dabangg 2. We are in the process of finalising everything because we start early next year. What I am really enjoying is that I'm very hands on as a producer this time. The first time, I was merely a rubber stamp.

Chitrangada Singh recently said that her she idolises you.
Oh my god. I think that's really sweet. I know her and she's absolutely fantastic, beautiful and talented. And it's great to see mommies today are giving young girls a run for their money.

It's flattering to hear someone admires you and great to see women post marriage and babies, out there, looking better than ever and not letting themselves go after marriage and children. That, for me, is more exciting.

Designer Sanchita recently said in a fashion magazine that everything about you is flawless except that you don't experiment too much with your hair.
(laughs) I shall definitely take that into consideration. I think I am very straight jacket when it comes to my hair and make up. I don't experiment too much with that. I like to reinvent myself every now and then though.

Your New Year's Eve performance last year was the talk of the nation. Where are you performing this year?
This time I'm not so sure. I haven't quite decided whether I'll be in Mumbai or travelling with my family.

According to your D.O.B in a website, you will be 40 in the next two years. How are you so ageless?
Not really. You are ageing me way before my time. They have my birth date and year wrong. I have another five years to go. As for being ageless, the secret is yoga. If you're happy on the inside, you're happy on the outside.

No Munni vs Sheila on New Year

Katrina Kaif had at least three offers to perform this New Year and we hear one was as high as Rs.Three crores but she has turned all of them down .

TOI has learned that the sassy star, who has had a hectic 2010 filming and promoting Tees Maar Khan and Raajneeti, wants to take time off, post her forthcoming release with Akshay Kumar. Katrina has extensive vacation plans and is looking to cut off from Tinseltown and spend time only with her family members and close friends with whom she has not bonded in a long time.

We hear that two hotels in India and one abroad was looking to get Kat. However, Kat is in the mood to travel. We hear that Kat might be travelling to London to bring in the New Year. She also has plans to travel with her mother Sussana Mary Turcotte to her philanthropic organisation at Madhurai. Joining them will be Kat's sister, Isabel. So, for those who were ready to see if Munni (Malaika Arora is set to perform this year on her Dabangg track) or Sheila (Kat) manages to sway more crowd and becomes the sexiest dancer on new year night, are set to get disappointed.

It is nice to see B-town ladies are choosing family over money as recently, Priyanka Chopra, too, ducked out of a plum offer from a suburban hotel near the domestic airport. They were ready to pay her Rs.Three crore for a 10 minute performance as a star attraction.

Malaika and Katrina to perform at different branches of same hotel for New Year's Eve

On New Year's Eve this year, Sheila and Munni are all set to clash at different branches of the same hotel.
While Malaika Arora Khan will be performing to Munni Badnaam Hui at the Sahara hotel in Amby Valley Katrina Kaif is all set to perform at the same hotel in Juhu.

Says a source, "Katrina and Malaika have never seen eye to eye with each other and this year the competition is between their individual chartbusters Munni Badnaam Hui and Sheila Ki Jawaani.

Each actress is intent on proving that hers is a bigger hit. Even when Katrina was dating Salman, they could barely stand each other and were just about cordial whenever they would meet.

Now, with New Year's eve coming up, both have been offered huge amounts of money to perform at different branches of the same hotel chain. "

The source adds that both Malaika and Katrina have even been offered the same amount of money.

"Both the songs are superhit and Katrina and Malaika have apparently both been offered Rs 2. 5 crore each to perform on New Year's Eve.

It will be interesting to see Katrina and Malaika try and outdo each other by performing to their own songs as well as to each other's songs. "

However, a source close to Katrina says, "Katrina has not yet decided whether she's going to perform this year though she has been offered potloads of money from various hotels for her chart-topping number Sheila ki jawani. For Katrina, her family has always come first and she always loves to spend Christmas with them. "

"This year too, she was planning to spend Christmas in London with them, as it's the only time of the year when the entire family comes together.

Tees Maar Khan releases during Christmas time and Katrina might get stuck in some post-release events too. So, as of now her New Year plans are not finalised, " added the source.

Arora angry over Sonakshi’s performance on ‘Munni Badnam Hui’

Sonakshi Sinha performed on the song, 'Munni Badnam Hui' from the film 'Dabangg' at the recently held Sahara India Sports Awards 2010 and the very fact did not go well with the main performer Malaika Arora Khan.

Ever since the film hit the theatre and the song tops the chartbuster, Malaika has been performing on the popular track during all the events. But when Sonakshi performed the song at the Sahara awards with the same thrill, she was bit upset.

This was Sonakshi's first stage performance and so everyone applauded her. According to Malaika, Sonakshi could have performed on some other tracks rather than her's. However, the organizer did not approach Malaika for this event.

The award ceremony will see many top-notch actors performing on some chartbusters and Shahrukh Khan will be hosting the show.
