Priyanka is not just an 'item' girl

She may be hot, but she is also fuming. Priyanka Chopra is upset about not just being called an item girl, but also because Sunny Leone's dance number for 'Shootout At Wadala' is garnering more curiosity than hers.

Chopra's song is more of a cabaret song from the 80s and is set in the dark, gloomy underworld of that era. 'Babli Badmash' is now peeved that she is being called an item girl in what is technically her first item song.

“As soon as you say that this is an item song, it gets cheap overtones,” says Priyanka.

The actress very clearly wants to be compared to Salman Khan’s step mother Helen and says she does not want the tag of an item girl at all.

“I think it’s wrong to give us tags like item, you know. We never spoke about Helen aunty and others like that."

But then Priyanka’s song has been accorded a U/A certificate and she wants her song to be called and billed as a special appearance as they did in the good old days. But times have changed and Sanjay Gupta, the director of the film, is toeing Priyanka’s line for some strange reason.

“It’s as insulting to call a special appearance an item number as you call Hindi Film Industry as Bollywood,” he says.

It does seem that the 'Shootout At Wadala' team is trying hard to call her song a special appearance. Wonder what they will call Sunny Leone’s song as she has a three-minute appearance as well in the movie apart from her song when John Abraham, as Manya Surve, save her from a brothel and hands her over to her boyfriend
