'Item boys



Salman Khan
Looks like the Munnis and Sheilas of Bollywood need to make way for the item boys! Stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan are showing a keen interest in song sequences that have so far been the preserve of women.

Farah Khan's latest film 'Tees Maar Khan' saw Salman dancing away with Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar on "Wallah wallah". He had earlier succumbed to the item song craze when he performed on "Bang bang" from "Hello" directed by Atul Agnihotri, who is married to his sister Alvira. The film was an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's novel "One Night@The Call Centre".

Shah Rukh Khan
In Bollywood, one can say, the trend of actors getting into item numbers was started by Shah Rukh with 'Ishq Kamina' for 2002 action-drama 'Shakti'. He was joined by screen diva Aishwarya Rai and the two scorched the screen with the sizzling song. He was later seen dancing on 'Kaal dhamaal' in Karan Johar's production venture 'Kaal' and there the sultry Malaika Arora Khan joined him.

King Khan was later seen in the song 'Subah subah' from 'I See You' in 2007 followed by 'Mast kalandar' in Sajid Khan's 'Heyy Babyy'.

Tusshar Kapoor
Tusshar Kapoor did the item song 'Manzar' for 'Sunday'.

"The purpose of them doing an item number is to add star power to the film. A lot of actors have turned producer and are making films under their banner; so a lot of them also agree to do a special appearance for the camaraderie they share with each other," said film critic Omar Qureshi.
