Mahi gill to do one of two item songs in Zanjeer remake

At least one item song in Bollywood films is compulsory to make the film popular and awaited. It has become a staple in Bollywood. Similarly, producer Amit Mehra has plan to keep two item numbers in movie. ‘Dev D’ girl Mahi has been finalized for one of the item song

Mahie Gill was recently signed on by director Apoorva Lakhia to play one of the popular vamp characters of the 70s – ‘Mona darling’ (originally played by Bindu), in the remake of Prakash Mehra’s blockbuster drama Zanjeer. While Mahie will have some bold and daring scenes in the film that she is usually known for, we found out that she’ll also fulfil her dream to sing and dance on a typical Bollywood number in the new version. The makers of the modern adaptation have done away with the cabaret song that was performed by Bindu in the original. Instead they will have Mahie do a hip-hop in the remake. There will be one more item song for which they still have to cast a sexy dancer.

Mehra also stated that ‘Music is certainly a crucial part of the film. But we are yet to decide who will compose the music for ‘Zanjeer’ remake. We still have some time to go to think about that.’

Mahie will play the iconic role of Bindu as ‘Mona darling’ in movie remake. Priyanka Chopra and south superstar Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan Teja are in a lead role. Film is directed by Apporva Lakhia. Shooting has been already started on 13th April and Priyanka will join the crew in May end as she is busy with her other projects. Releasing date of the film is May 2013 as if now.
