News
oi-IANS
By Ians English
Actress
Hamsa
Nandini
has
grooved
to
four
popular
dance
songs
in
southern
films
in
just
a
few
months,
but
she
doesn't
like
the
expression
'item
number'.
The
actress
says
the
reach
that
such
numbers
give
to
actors
is
phenomenal.
She
is
ready
for
more
dance
numbers
in
films
as
she
is
not
a
mainstream
heroine
and
she
is
happy
to
do
it
for
the
audiences,
who
want
to
see
more
of
her
on
screen.
The
actress
has
featured
in
chartbusters
such
as
Mirchi
and
Bavagarlu
in
the
recent
past.
In
an
interview
to
IANS,
Hamsa
Nandini
said,
"Firstly,
I
don't
think
they
are
item
numbers
because
I
don't
expose
in
any
of
my
songs.
I
don't
have
a
problem
doing
these
songs
because
I'm
not
a
mainstream
heroine
yet,
and
moreover
if
audience
wants
to
see
more
of
me,
I
would
happily
oblige."
Hamsa
Nandini
has
worked
in
Telugu
and
Tamil
films
and
is
successful
in
impressing
the
viewers
in
both
languages.
She
added,
"So
many
producers
call
up
every
day
asking
me
to
dance
in
their
films,
but
I
have
been
very
choosy.
I
have
forgone
so
many
opportunities
because
I
seek
a
purpose
even
behind
these
songs."
She
admits
these
songs
help
in
reaching
out
to
the
masses.
"It
gives
you
phenomenal
reach
especially
if
you're
paired
opposite
big
stars.
I
believe
it
is
a
good
platform
to
reach
out
to
the
masses.
I'm
happy
doing
a
five-minute
dance
number
that
assures
me
a
lot
of
attention
rather
than
featuring
in
10
scenes
in
a
film
with
no
scope
for
performance," said
Hamsa,
who
started
career
as
a
model.
The
item
hot
girl,
who
is
seen
with
Pawan
Kalyan
in
dance
sequence
in
Telugu
film
Attarintiki
Daredi,
is
currently
awaiting
release
one
of
her
item
numbers
with
superstar
Nagarjuna.

A
Song
With
PK/Nagarjuna
Is
Truly
A
Blessing
She
said,
"Doing
a
song
with
Pawan
Kalyan
or
Nagarjuna
is
truly
a
blessing.
These
are
opportunities
I
would
never
want
to
miss.
I'm
extremely
happy
that
with
every
song,
audiences
have
only
expected
more
from
me.
They
have
created
an
image
of
me
and
I
want
to
live
up
to
it."
Hamsa's
Dance
Number
In
Jr
NTR's
Ramayya
Vasthavayya
Hamsa
has
also
featured
in
a
dance
number
in
Junior
NTR's
upcoming
Telugu
movie
Ramayya
Vasthavayya.
She
said,
"There
have
been
so
many
actresses
who
have
featured
in
item
numbers
over
the
years,
but
very
few
gave
repeat
performances.
I'm
glad
that
audiences
have
not
discarded
me
and
are
still
expecting
something
more
from
me."
Item
Numbers
Are
Not
All
About
Glamour
She
added,
"It
just
appears
glamorous
on
screen,
but
nobody
knows
how
many
days
of
rehearsals
we
do
for
the
song.
I
remember
for
Mirchi,
I
had
to
dance
barefoot
in
a
chilli
field
under
the
hot
sun.
You
can
imagine
how
hot
that
would
have
been,
but
I
still
did
it."
Careful
Before
Giving
Nod
To
Directors
She
said,
"I
also
give
importance
to
directors
because
not
all
of
them
can
make
you
look
good
on
screen.
Very
few
directors
have
an
eye
for
making
an
actress
look
sexy
yet
not
dirty
in
these
songs.
The
reason
I
agreed
to
work
in
Ramayya
Vasthavayya
is
because
of
Harish
Shankar
(director)."
Hamsa
Strongly
Believes
Harish
Shankar
She
added,
"I
have
seen
his
work
in
the
past
and
I
was
convinced
that
he
will
portray
me
on
screen
well.
Secondly,
it
wasn't
just
a
song;
he
offered
me
a
small
role
too."
Are
You
Not
Interested
In
Taking
Up
Roles?
Hamsa
said,
"I
have
landed
a
plum
role
in
the
period
flick
Rudhramadevi.
I'm
playing
a
challenging
role
and
I'm
giving
my
best
because
for
the
first
time
viewers
will
actually
get
see
my
performance.
This
film
means
a
lot
to
me
and
it
packs
a
surprise
factor."
Hamsa
Wants
Performance-Oriented
Role
She
added,
"I
have
been
offered
a
few
roles,
but
as
I
pointed
out
already,
I
don't
want
to
be
seen
in
a
few
scenes
without
any
purpose.
If
I
get
a
performance-oriented
role,
then
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
take
it
up."
