Filmmaker Prakash Jha hasn’t missed adding one sizzling item number in his forthcoming drama Satyagraha. He has roped in model-actor Natasa Stankovic to groove to a thumri-electronic fusion number called Aiyo ji hamri atariya mein for the movie. The filmmaker believes that such songs contribute to certain sensibilities and add to the story.
‘Such numbers contribute to certain moments and sensibilities. They (dance numbers) help the story too,’ Jha said in a statement. Earlier, Manyata Dutt, wife of actor Sanjay Dutt, did an item song called Alhad mast jawaani for Jha’s 2003 released film Gangaajal.
Also, television actor Barkha Bisht performed to an item song titled Ishq barse hai boondan boondan in 2010 film Raajneeti.
‘Manyata’s song helped in establishing the psyche of debased people. In Satyagraha, the item song creates the ambience of affluence and the bonhomie of corrupt people,’ added Jha.
