<p>Harshika Poonacha, who is known for her bubbly girl- next-door roles, is making heads turn with her new glamourous avatar. The actress will soon be seen in a special song in ‘Case No 18/9’. With a new look and wearing a golden dress, Harshika says that she wanted to catch everyone’s attention through this song. Looks like she has done exactly that. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Harshika says she always wanted to be part of peppy numbers. “I do have a dancing background and have also represented my college in the cultural team. But people never felt that I could carry off a peppy dance number. All I got to do were very slow romantic songs, where I walk in the front with the hero following me,” she laughs. <br /><br />And then Harshika took matters into her own hands, went through a rigorous exercise regime and shed all the baby fat. “That’s when I got the opportunity to do a ‘special number’ in Mahesh’s ‘Case No 18/9’. Since I have worked with him in ‘Murli Meets Meera’, I was willing to be a part of it. I loved every minute of it as I got to finally dance,” she adds.<br /><br />Harshika says that the song is nothing more than a special number. “This is not an item number as it doesn’t really talk about the woman. It’s more of a club song, where everyone is partying. It’s a very glamourous song and the best part is that it’s not vulgar in anyway,” she adds. <br /><br />The reaction she got after the shot was something Harshika can’t get over. “The minute I came out for the shot, I could see many dropped jaws and people actually asked me ‘is that really you?’ I loved the reaction because I really wanted to raise eyebrows and I think I achieved it,” she says.<br /></p>
