Return of the Oomphmati!

Urmila Matondkar is back to doing what she does best — the great Indian item number. Here's a sneak peek at her Mehbooba look in Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag


The 'Show' Must Go On: Urmila Matondkar

Oomph Was Me: Helen in the original Sholay number
Main Bhi Helen: Mallika Sherawat in Aap Kaa Surroor
Urmila Matondkar and Ram Gopal Varma have always formed an explosive combination.

Now, they are back together in Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, albeit only in a video.

Urmila will do some sexy moves in the item number Mehbooba Mehbooba, choreographed, directed and composed by choreographer-singer Ganesh Hegde.

HiTLIST brings you an exclusive look at Urmi in the sizzling number.

Eerie feel

Says Matondkar, "I was excited when I was asked to dance to the legendary dance number. Mehbooba is one of my all-time favourite numbers, and gets my foot tapping every time I hear it.

Our main priority was to ensure that it wasn't identical to the original number, both in terms of the sound and the look. The mood we have created is very different. It's not a remix but quite a techno sound."

Urmila and designer Manish Malhotra agonised over the look and styling of the song for many days. Says the actress, "I wasn't nervous during the shoot, but I was nervous during discussions for the costume and look.

The intention was not to ape Helen so it was different and very challenging. I play a modern performer against a jungle backdrop, where an arms deal is taking place. The entire feel is eerie."

Public ke bharose

Urmila says dancing to Mehbooba has given her "unparalleled joy and satisfaction." So what's next? "I'm anxiously waiting for the people's verdict."

Mehbooba has been sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, Sukhwinder Singh and Sudesh Bhonsle.
