" The item queen sizzled as Munni in the original film produced by her and hubby Arbaaz, and says it is a difficult act to repeat. "It's such an iconic song.

You can't recreate Munni. We would much rather create something new and better.

Having said that, Kareena would be fantastic as another Munni, but the creative call will be taken by Arbaaz after he finishes recording the new song for Dabangg 2." How does she feel about another actress doing a Munni? "I don't mind.

At the end of day, you have to do what works best for the film. You forget that it's my film too! As far as me doing another item number in my film, you can't repeat a Munni.

" Malaika is also serving as casting director for the item song along with Arbaaz, who is directing the film this time around. "Arbaaz will consult me when we finalise the actress for the song.

Whether it's Bebo or someone else, it will be a mutual decision." So is Malaika planning to do more item songs this year? She says, "I have just completed the item song Anarkali Disco Chali for Housefull 2.

As you know, I don't like doing too many songs - maybe one every few years. Anarkali.

..

has got fantastic response online, so I am very happy about that. I get offered item songs a dime a dozen, but I would rather be exclusive.

If you do 10 songs a year, your brand gets diluted. The whole purpose of creating a certain hype is defeated then.

It's nice to be exclusive and leave the audience wanting more." Malaika was considered the luck factor in Dabangg.

Will we get to see her at all in Dabangg 2, considering she won't be sizzling in an item song this time around? "I'm sure I will be there in some capacity - what that will be is Arbaaz's decision. There can't be more than one item song in a film, so I won't be doing that for sure!" she laughs, adding, "Right now we are busy with the film's pre-production as we start shooting from March 9.

Anyway, may hay while the sun shines, dearies, for Malaika Arora Khan is all set to make a comback with Anarkali Disco Chali in Sajid Khan's Housefull 2, and choreographing this number is none other than the Munni Badnaam Hui choreographer Farah Khan! When we contacted Malaika, she urged us not to make comparisons. "The song is peppy and sounds good.

Munni Badnaam Hui..

. has become a cult song, this one, too, we'll try and make unique.

" So what preparations does Malaika do before she embarks on an item number? "Nothing at all," she tells us, "You go there, and dance! You do what the choreographer asks you to do, and have a good time!" Tell Malaika, that it was her Munni number that helped Dabangg go that extra mile, and she humbly states, "It's very nice when people like your work. Dabangg was more than just Munni.

..

It's a cult film!" Farah Khan, on the other hand, is unperturbed at the comparisons. "Dance is my first love.

We are going to have fun doing it. That's all I know as of now!" she says.

Farah goes on to state that every actress is wonderful, but Malaika has an oomph that still rocks the industry! (less)

If the buzz is to be believed, Kareena Kapoor will be replacing Malaika Arora Khan from the original for an item number in Dabangg 2 . Apparently the makers want to have another item number in the sequel and having Kareena Kapoor would only make it bigger.

Malaika Arora Khan, in most probability, would be restricted to only being the producer. When the Dabangg sequel was newly announced, post the success of the original, there were multiple speculations including one that said Amrita Arora would join Malaika Arora for the item song in sequel.

Together the sisters would dance with Salman Khan. However the only thing that would be common to the sequel's item number seems to be Salman Khan.

Industry insiders insist that the Salman Khan - Kareena Kapoor pairing in Bodyguard was much-liked and so the actress was the right choice. Also Kareena Kapoor hasn't done an item song since Don.

So there would be fresh appeal to the item number. Either of the composers from the original, Lalit Pandit or Sajid-Wajid would be composing the song.

Dabangg 2 is expected to go on floors in early March (less)

" Amrita and her sister Malaika Arora Khan came to Shilpa Shetty's baby shower on Thursday afternoon where Amu was spotted with the baby bump (less)
