Joker's song to be trend-setter

Chitrangada Singh, who is trying her hand at an item song for the first time in Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Joker’, says the catchy number is in the same league as ‘Sheila’ and ‘Munni’.

The 35-year-old actress is the new B-town beauty to turn item girl with the song ‘Kaffirana’ in the upcoming sci-fi film by Shirish Kunder.

“I had a great time doing the song. It is named ‘Kaffirana’ and has this rustic Marathi feel to it. I have done my best in it and I hope people enjoy it.

“It has some catchy phrases which I am sure will become a trend setter. This song will be in the league of Munni and Chikni Chameli. Farah has done a fabulous job,” said Chitrangada at the ongoing Wills India Fashion Week here.

The actress admitted when she started with ‘Hazaron Khwaishein Aisi’ no one would have imagined her as a singing-dancing commercial movie heroine. “I am experimenting with roles and looks now and I think as an actor it is very important to do that. When I started people had never imagined me singing and dancing but I am enjoying every bit of it and that’s what keeps me excited.” Chitrangada walked the ramp for designer Kanika Saluja dressed in a royal blue gown with golden embroidery teamed with a golden headgear.

“Fashion to me is comfortable clothing. I am in awe of 60’s and 70’s design and it is coming back. I wear what I am confident in,” she said.

“It feels great to walk the ramp for Kanika. I am wearing a blue gown and I feel like an Egyptian goddess. I like the bit of a drama in my dress.”
