- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,October 24 2011]
The talented lady director Kavitha Lankesh has clarified that actress Ramya is not doing an item number in her film 'Crazy Loka'. The song of Ramya is a part of the narrative and carry forward the story says Kavitha in a letter on the controversy that Ramys (Divya Spandana) is appearing in an item song.
'I hate the term 'item' number! As a film maker and that too as a woman film maker I would never have an Âitem number in any of my filmsÂ. Neither Ramya needs to expose and do an item number for my film nor do I need Ramya to do that for my film which is basically a family oriented comedy.
I have requested Ramya to do a special song in my film. Knowing Ramya and her body of work it is not appropriate to call it an item number. I have cast someone as senior as Anant Nag and Bharathi vishnuvardhan as hero and heroine of my film when they were just doing someone's father or uncle and mother and aunt roles respectively. If Ramya does my song it is an added attraction for my film. But if she does not wish to do so I understand simply because the media might brand her as an item girl. Ramya do my song or not will be known shortly and I will be happy if she does it, if not someone else will be announced soon stated Kavitha Lankesh.
Kavitha has reacted because actress Ramya shot back saying without agreement it is not proper to bring it to the media that she is appearing in a song in ÂCrazy LokaÂ.
'Crazy Loka' is produced by Confident Group starring V Ravichandran, Daisy Boppanna, Harshika Poonacha, debutant Vijay, Dr Bharathi Vishnuvardhana and others.
