Pooja
Gandhi,
one
of
the
leading
actresses
in
Kannada,
dismissed
the
reports
of
item
song
stating
that
a
dance
number
in
Sri
Harikathe
has
been
added
for
special
effect.
Earlier,
a
few
reports
even
stated
that
it
was
not
important.
Irritated
by
these
reports
Pooja
has
said
that
it
is
not
an
item
song
and
it
is
an
introduction
song.
It
is
very
much
part
of
the
script.
Pooja
Gandhi,
who
is
now
on
her
New
Year
holiday
with
her
parents,
says
that
she
plays
a
struggling
model,
so
it
is
essential
to
be
introduced
through
that
way.
In
spite
of
box-office
catastrophes,
the
opportunities
are
still
knocking
at
her
door
and
she
doesn't
need
an
item
number
to
hog
lime
light
at
this
stage.
She
has
acted
in
four
movies
in
2009
out
of
which
Gokula
has
been
considered
as
box-office
hit.
Dayal
Padmanabhan's
Sri
Harikathe
has
six
songs,
which
have
been
composed
by
Sameer
Kulkarni.
Naveen
Krishna
and
Yogaraj
Bhat
have
written
Lyrics.
Srimurali,
Pooja
Gandhi
and
Radhika
Gandhi
can
be
seen
in
lead
roles.
The
film
will
hit
the
screen
on
January
1,
2010.
