Ten Years Later, Julie Sequel With Newbie Stunner Sakshi Chaudhary

Back in 2004 Neha Dhupia created quite a furore playing the prostitute with several male admirers painting the town red and 'panting' her gown purple in Deepak Shivdasani's Julie.

Now Shivdasani is back with a sequel starring Sakshi Chaudhary.

This Gladrags model and wannabe actress is already making her presence felt in Bollywood. A few months ago she signed a 3-film deal with producer Feroz Nadiadwala including the lead in Hera Pheri 3 opposite John Abraham.

Julie 2 we hear would be the story of not a prostitute but an actress.

Says a source close to the newcomer, `Considering how controversial and steamy Neha Dhupia's role was in Julie Sakshi was apprehensive about the role. But then she heard her character in Julie 2...and flipped.`

It's a role apparently inspired by Rekha.

Sakshi Chaudhary says, `I admit I was apprehensive. But when I heard the script I agreed at once .It is a very performance-oriented film. Certainly not the kind of character a newcomer gets to play.`

When quizzed about the skin show Sakshi says, `It is a glamorous role. But nothing vulgar about it.`

However a source lets out that Sakshi would be required to do many bold scenes. 'She'd be riding a motorcycle in a bikini,` says the source.

(Hopefully she would have a helmet on).

When asked which of her films Julie 2 or Hera Pheri 3 would get released first Sakshi said, `I've signed Hera Pheri first and I've signed four other films which I can't talk about as per the contracts.Whichever film is completed first would be released first.`

However, the actress clears all the air and says that her link-up with Ranvir was just for fun and entertainment, reports Indian Express.

"Everyone on the show ended up having a partner. Whether it was Gauahar-Kushal, Gurmeet-Debina, Teejay-Karanvir everyone had their pair. So we thought why not we pair up together. We both are from the film fraternity and that's how Ranvir and I came together. We thought this will add entertainment and will become like a typical masalaBollywood film with the combination of action and love story. We had a unique name also on the show. All the contestants called us Ramu which sounded more as Ramu kaka. It was all done to grab eyeballs and bring in TRPs. Everyone knows that Ranvir has an amazing sense of humour and we are just having fun. But certain people misinterpreted the entire thing and thought it was for real," said the actress.
Mughda, who participated for the first time in a TV reality show, says she is proud of her performance on the show and that the crocodile stunt was the toughest stunt that she faced on Khatron Ke Khiladi , "I had an amazing experience on the show and I am proud of myself and the performance I gave on the show. I laughed, cried and had a blast on Khatron Ke Khiladi. The toughest moment that I faced was during the crocodile task. I was really petrified of these creatures throughout my life and here I was asked to do a stunt with them."

The actress is all praises for the host of the show, Rohit Shetty, and says, "I think Rohit is doing an amazing job as a host. I think in comparison to the previous hosts Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra, Rohit is doing a fabulous job as they were both actors and he is a director. Also I think in India directors and are not very good- looking but Rohit looked amazing on the show. He also managed to keep the audiences glued to the TV screens which is a very difficult job. He was very supportive towards us on Khatron Ke Khiladi, always pushed us to give our best and never give up. We were very lucky to have him as a host on the show."

Claudia Ciesla turns item girl for 'Desi Kattey'

Polish-German model Claudia Ciesla has done her second item number for Anand Kumar's upcoming film 'Desi Kattey'. 

Claudia, who will be seen in a 'desi' avatar as a village belle, said she is excited to don a different look for the item number 'Patnewali hoon'. "After 'Balma' (Khiladi 786), I got many offers but rejected them because I was not happy with the content. But this is a very catchy item number with 'desi tadka'. It's a typical song in UP and Bihar style. There is some naughtiness in it," Claudia told PTI. 'Desi Kattey' is expected to hit theatres on August 28.

Composed by Kailash Kher and sung by Rekha Bhardwaj, the song has been shot in a village with guns as main props. It has been choreographed by Vishnu Deva of 'Gandi Baat' fame. "I challenged myself with the dance number.

I watched Bipasha Basu's 'Namak' to understand a song set in village. I took time to learn the steps from Vishnu. I was amazed to see him dance. His steps are unique and catchy," Claudia said. Item numbers are raining in Bollywood with leading actresses like Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra opting for them.

When asked who is her favourite among the dancing beauties in Bollywood, the 27-year-old model said, "I like Malaika Arora Khan. I am a great admirer of her right from her 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' days.

She is a fantastic performer and I would love to shake a leg with her one day. I like Katirina Kaif too." Claudia's ticket to Bollywood was her stint in celebrity reality show 'Bigg Boss', where she met Akshay Kumar and the superstar gave him the chance to do an item number in 'Khiladi 786'. Apart from item numbers, Claudia, who shifted her base from Poland to India long time back, is yet to bag a film.

"I want to do a film but I am waiting for the right script. I have done all my homework to be a part of a film. I have learnt Hindi and Bollywood style of dancing. I will take up a project only when will bring me a step forward in my career," she said.
