Mallika, Deepika aim to be this year's 'Munni' and 'Sheila'?

Raunchy and sizzling item songs have become the order of the day, yet again. It seemed for a while that they may have become extinct in Hindi films, but last year's chartbusters 'Munni' and 'Sheila' brought them back to centre-space.

Can the movies this year push that envelope further? If what is being heard is true, many movies would try to do so. Seeing how the first few shows of both Dabangg and Tees Maar Khan were sold out by the two chartbuster tracks, several filmmakers are reworking their scripts to ensure that there is scope for at least one such item number. What's even more surprising is the fact that the top league actors are more than enthusiastic when it comes to featuring in item songs, looking at the popularity of these numbers.

Two such stars this year are Deepika Padukone and Mallika Sherawat. News of Deepika's racy track in Rohan Sippy's 'Dum Maro Dum' is already the talk of the town, with stills of the actress featuring on the teaser posters of the film.

Sherawat, meanwhile, will be seen in the track 'Razia' in Anees Bazmee's next, Thank You. The actress has been seen in many item numbers till now in films like 'Guru', 'Dashavatharam' and 'Preeti Yeke Bhoomi melide', to name a few.

Sanjay Dutt's next, 'Rascals' will have an item number too, featuring the actor and Lisa Haydon, while Salman Khan will do a special number for his upcoming film, 'Ready'. There is also talk that Shah Rukh Khan will do a special number for his home-production 'Always Kabhi Kabhi', directed by Roshan Abbas.
