Director Prem created buzz when he roped in Yana Gupta to sizzle for an item number in the Kannada film 'Jogi' starring Shivarajkumar. The director met his fans expectations later getting Mallika Sherawat to shake her hot body in 'Preethi Yeke Bhoomi Melide'.

The filmmaker is now back in news. According to sources, Prem is all set to bring in Sunny Leone for a special number in his forthcoming film 'Prem Adda' that is touted to be the Kannada remake of the Tamil hit 'Subramaniapuram'.

Rumour mongers were agog with news that Sunny might be seen in an item number in the film. But a confirmation from Prem suggested that Sunny will indeed be present in the film.

"Apart from Sunny, we had a couple of options. But now that the news about Sunny has broken out, it is better to finalize her in the film. We have already contacted her and have asked for her dates. She has responded positively and has confirmed to be a part of the item song. Now that she is busy acting with 'Jism 2', we will get her dates once she finishes off her assignments" said Prem.

With this item number, Sunny Leone will mark her debut in Sandalwood.

Mallika Sherawat is back and this time she is the sultry Laila!

The sex bomb and also a fabulous dancer Mallika agreed to do an item song in the upcoming film Tezz, and the oomphilicious first look of her hot avatar from the song Laila is out.

After her delectable Jalebi Bai act or the racy Razia Gundon Mein Phas Gayi, what’s new Mallika Sherawat has to offer in Laila? Well, the first look of the song sees her dressed in the skimpiest of a skirt with a crystal-studded bustier, while raven long hair completes her sultry get-up for the song. Moreover, the song’s choreography is done by Ganesh Acharya of Chikni Chameli fame.

It is rumoured that Mallika Sherawat agreed to do the item number in a short span of time to keep up the good relationship with producer Ratan Jain. Also it’s learnt that she especially flew down to Mumbai from LA to do this item song and thus gave the Oscars a miss.

The item song also hit trouble when Shiv Sainiks stormed into the sets of the film for allowing foreign actors in it.

Interestingly, this will be the fourth Laila song. Earlier you have seen Zeenat Aman, Yana Gupta and Lucy Bartholomew’s Laila versions.

The Bhatts have triggered off a war between Yana and Jacqueline Fernandez.

Zara Kareeb Se, an item song that was picturised on Yana for Murder 2 is now being aired starring Fernandez and co-star Emraan Hashmi.

Interestingly, when the song first got a face lift, director Mohit Suri had reportedly said that Yana's song was "too gory" to be shown on television.

Now the explanation for her absence has been completely changed.

"I didn't want to disclose villain Prashant Narayanan's identity to be released before the film and Yana's version had her dancing with the villain," said Suri.

The truth is much simpler.

After the success of Murder 2, actor Jacqueline Fernandez's looks in Murder 2 has made a mark.

When asked, if she had to expose in the sequel because Mallika Sherawat had done so in the original movie, she said, “I agree”.

“Bollywood is ruthless. It is a difficult place to be in, but if you keep going and keep a level head, you will be fine,” concluded Jaqueline who is still struggling to master Hindi with no godfather in the industry.

Yana being left in the cold, however sounded stoic, when asked about the episode.

"Of course I would have loved for my version to be aired. I hope it will be at some point. But it's not my song, you know. It's just a job. I gave it my best shot and what happens to it later is not for me to decide," concluded Yana.

Yana Gupta’s sizzling item song Zara Kareeb Se from Murder 2 will be missing from the promos of the film. Why so? The Censor Board thinks it’s too provocative, and more than that, ‘horrific’.

As per reports, the raunchy item song where Yana is shown like an ultimate sex kitten appeared to the members of the Censor Board as gory and very suggestive. Thus unfit for TV screening. So, what director Mohit Suri has to say about this?

According to Mohit the song is extremely in-your-face. “It was felt that the concept itself is not suitable to be viewed by everyone. The graphics are explicit. It needed an adult certification and on television you cannot monitor the audience,” the director is quoted as saying.

Yes, the song’s content is volatile as it has shown Yana shooting with torture chairs, chains and leashes (suggestive!). After the Censors prohibited the song from the promos, Mohit re-shot the song, which is a thrilling number, with the lead pair of the film Emraan Hashmi and Jacqueline Fernandez.

Now you can hear the song Zara Kareeb Se but without Yana Gupta. For the original item song you have to wait till the movie releases on July 8.

First, she dropped her panties and then most of her clothes for Aa Zara Kareeb Se, her item song in Murder 2. The song is being touted as THE hottest item number in Bollywood to date.

We'll have to wait to verify that, but Yana meanwhile continues to look red hot. Check her out on the cover of the May issue of men's mag FHM. We'll leave it at that!

Yana Gupta is set to give the Munnis and Sheilas a run for their money with a scorching hot item song in "Murder 2".

The item song was originally offered to Bipasha Basu who dilly-dallied too much and kept the producers, the Bhatts, waiting. Finally, an exasperated Mukesh Bhatt roped in Yana Gupta for the item.

The song, titled “Aa Zara Kareeb Se”, has Yana stripping down to minimal clothes, with a horizontally slit peekaboo top barely covering her assets and fishnet stockings gracing her slender legs.

The track was shot at Chandiwali Studios on a non-AC floor, but Yana did not crib about the heat.

No wonder director Mohit Suri is pleased with Yana’s dedication and her lack of inhibition in shedding the clothes.

Murder 2 stars Emraan Hashmi with Jacqueline Fernandez.

…And we were all looking forward to see Bengal babe Bipasha Basu as an item girl and looks like its going to be next time.

Latest update from ‘Murder 2’ side is that Bipasha has been replaced by Czech-Indian sizzler Yana Gupta. Basu said to had demanded a hefty price for featuring in the item song for the movie.

Having garnered great appreciation for 'Laila O Laila', Yana thinks she is the 'ultimate' dance diva.

With so many of our Bollywood belles doing the special naach-gaana, it becomes difficult to pick the hottest. So when we met Yana Gupta, who is seen in the sizzling number Laila O Laila from the film 'Chalo Dilli', we asked her to do the job for us.

"Of course, I'm the best item girl around," said Yana, who showed us what she was all about in 'Jhalak Dikhla Ja'. "My participation in the reality show has helped me a great deal. It helped me look better, perform better, feel better. I think I did a good job!"

She adds, "However, if you ask me to pick the most authentic item girl, it has to be Malaika Arora Khan. She is simply superb. She has been around for years now, and people love to see her comeback and do a dance every once in a way."

Zeenat Aman might not be happy with the new version of her cult song Dum maaro dum, but the veteran actress is quite satisfied with the neo-age version of Laila o laila and is going all out to lend her support to it.

The famous song from the 1980 film Qurbani has been re-arranged for the film Chalo Dilli, which is actress Lara Dutta's first home production.

"I liked the song when I heard it. They have retained the original version and at the same time have given the song a new flavour. It's got a rustic, ethnic feel and I liked it a lot. So I'm supporting it," Zeenat told IANS.

The new version has been picturised on Yana Gupta and the 31-year-old is extremely happy to be a part of such a cult song.

Yana said: "I was extremely excited to do this song because it's fantastic. I'm just honoured to do Zeenatji's song. I think people will like it.

Yana said she was very happy that Zeenat gave her support for the song. "It's a big deal for me," she said.

"I saw the video of the original song a couple of times and saw the style that Zeenatji used in the song. But I didn't copy her as I thought of doing it my own way because the song is very different," she added.

A tribute from one national beauty pageant winner to another, the gorgeous Lara Dutta is very excited about the item song 'Laila O Laila', an iconic Zeenat Aman song, that will be seen in Lara's first ever home production Chalo Dilli. The song will bring the famous item girl, Yana Gupta.

Yana is ready to wow audiences with her performance on the cult Zeenat Aman song 'Laila O Laila'. Keeping close to the original composition, Lara Dutta who is a big Zeenat Aman fan wanted to pay homage to her idol and decided to shoot an item song starring the scintillating Yana.

Says a source "Both Lara and Zeenat have been Miss Indias. Lara has always idolized Zeenat Aman and wanted to in some way represent her in her first home production - that's when she decided to base an item song on the cult hit 'Laila O Laila'."

If sources are to be believed, the song is one to watch out for and is very rustic yet exotic in its format.

"Lara is very excited to show the song to Zeenat Aman and have her feedback on it," adds the source.

Says producer Krishika Lulla, "We are all very excited about the song 'Laila O Laila' which is a desi rendition of the original. We've received great feedback for it and hopefully audiences should love it just as much"

An entertaining, slice of life film that will have you laughing off your seats, Chalo Dilli directed by Shashant Shah (of Dasvidaniya fame) is a journey which along with the two protagonists showcases the real India and its colourful and funny people with their eccentricities.

Produced by Krishika Lulla and Mahesh Bhupathi, Chalo Dilli comes to a theatre near you on April 29.

Yana Gupta is all set to sizzle in an item song in Mahesh Bhatt's Murder 2. There was a lot of speculation about who will do an item number in Murder 2 as initially, Bhatt had approached Bipasha Basu who refused the offer.

Later, Mallika Sherawat, who was the female lead in the original, was offered this number but that didn't work out either. Finally, Yana has been chosen by the Bhatt camp to do this sizzling item number.

Post her stint in Jhallak Dilkhlaa Jaa, Yana is said to be flooded with offers. Apart from Murder 2, she will also do a special number in Chalo Dilli. It is a remixed version of the old popular song Laila Main Laila.

Yana Gupta will dance to Zeenat Aman's iconic Laila Main Laila in an upcoming film Dilli Chalo.

The rich raunchy remix of the song from Feroz Khan's Qurbani, is the second remix of the senior seductress in a month, close on the heels of Dum Maro Dum featuring Deepika Padukone. But this time Zeenat is not complaining as the film's producer Lara Dutta has not only kept the yesteryear actress in the loop, but has also shown her the song. And the s** bomb of the 1970s and 80s has given her thumbs-up to Yana's gyrations.

Says a source, "What Zeenat liked was that Lara and Yana have stuck to the original and not made her song their own."

Yana, who is currently abroad, can't stop raving about the song. "I've always been a fan of Zeenat Aman and the song Laila Main Laila. And I always enjoy doing item songs. But this turned out to be an out-of-body experience for me. I'm looking forward to performing it live on stage after the film releases."

Ankita Lokhande will be the next contestant to be eliminated from the celebrity dance show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 4, on Sony TV. Reportedly Yana Gupta and Ankita Lokhande will get tied up in the danger zone of the dance reality show.

Ankita however, looses the game to the talented dancer Yana Gupta. Ankita is eliminated from the competition, while Yana is saved and will fight it out in the next episode. The elimination however, doesn't seem to be the end of everything for Ankita.

The actress seemed to be very cool about it and said that Jhalak was a good experience. She added that she was lucky to learn a lot under the guidance of Madhuri Dixit. She also said that she was fortunate to get the second chance to prove her talent on Jhalak Dikhla Jaa as a wild card entrant.

She was confident that, though she lost the game, beau Sushant Singh Rajput will definitely win the dance reality show. She ended saying that there is no reason for her to be disappointed, as Sushant is still in for the game.

Well said Ankita, whoever win, its the same for people in love.

India’s item girls does not need to go a long way to grab attention now. Yana Gupta has made the hard work easier for them. Yana is now reportedly being offered a whopping one crore deal by a foreign magazine. The offer, if accepted, will make Yana shed all her clothes, and be the USP of that edition of the magazine.

A British magazine has made the offer to Yana it appears. The item girl, who could not become an established actress in Bollywood so far, seems did just a small act to gain the much wanted attention. Recently, at none other than a charity event, the lady went without her panties. She not just missed her panties, but also wore a short mini dress, becoming the eye candy for many a camera men and audience.

To make matters more candid, Yana had back then stated that now she could be the brand ambassador for a underwear company. We are sure that the lady must have been approached by some big names of the industry. And now, it is her other clothes which have raised offers… not to be worn, but to be thrown away!
