Highlights
- Actress Sameera Reddy is happy with the trend of curvy body types in films today and she credits Vidya Balan and Rani Mukherji for the trend.
- "I think it is good because we put so much pressure on ourselves to lose weight. But thank god, Rani Mukerji, Vidya Balan, these actresses are carrying those 'buttery-soft' bodies which are really making the Indian women come back," the 29-year-old told reporters at an event here.
- "So, I am very happy that this trend has come back and I am also trying to push that trend with my song," she added.
- Sameera has done an item song Kunda Khol in Chakravyuh and says she did not bother about weight issues for the song.
- "Today, just for one song people stick to workouts, diets and do extra preparations. But there is nothing of this sort in this song. I came from Singapore five days before the song was to be shot and went to Bhopal and did it," Sameera said.
- Sameera described item numbers as a prestige tag.
- "I think that today even for certain films, song has become so big that it can provide an opening to the film. I don't say that an item number can carry the film, but definitely it can give it an opening," Sameera said who has done an item song in Aakrosh.
- "And those days have gone when an item song tag was considered bad. I think today it has become a prestige tag," she added.
- Chakravyuh is slated for an October 24 release.
