( BEBO )Kareena’s ‘raunchiest item number ever’

Kareena Kapoor worked hard for the much publicized item dance in Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine.

Following her nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar's special diet for weeks, the actress achieved the required look - curvy and sexy. "In fact, most of the people on the sets are now following the diet," revealed the actress. And finally, on Thursday, the hard work was put on film. The song Halkat Jawani recorded by Sunidhi Chauhan was ready to be shot. And TOI was there for a sneak peek into the sizzling dance number in a city studio.

On the sets, we entered to find Madhur's heroine busy chatting on the phone. We learned it's break time. Inside, it was dark and cold. But the set was glowing with energy. The unit was busy rearranging the camera placement while Madhur stood in a corner with his cup of tea. "This is actually an award function where Kareena is performing. She has been mind blowing. We are moving to a new shot and she has stepped out," the director explained the scene.

When Ganesh Acharya, who was busy choreographing the next shot, came down from the stage to catch up with Madhur, the filmmaker quipped, "Masterji is so much fun to work with."
