Scarlett's hot in Sandalwood

While there may be the cultural activists trying to clamp down on the pubbing and partying culture in Mangalore, recently Scarlett Wilson of Shanghai fame shot for an item song for a Kannada film in the city. Scarlett, who wore a tiny number, shot for this song, ironically, at a pub in the city.
Says Krishnappa Uppur, director of Mahanadhi, 'We shot for the song with Scarlett over three days at a popular pub.She is a very talented girl and was extremely cooperative while shooting for the song.'
But did the cast and crew face any issues while shooting, given the tense atmosphere in the city? 'There were no hindrances at all. Despite the fear that there might be moral policing, we managed to wrap up our shoot smoothly and as per schedule,' says Krishnappa. Scarlett danced to the song titled Gaaore Naachore Hayo Rabba..., which was choreographed by Chinni Prakash.
Scarlett, incidentally, is no stranger to item numbers, having started in Shanghai, and following that up with numbers in Telugu films starring Ram Charan Teja and Pawan Kalyan. In Sandalwood, she has done the song for Mahanadhi and one for Prem Adda as well. In fact, it was reported that Scarlett's Sandalwood debut would be with Prem Adda. Krishnappa, though, claims that his film introduces the item gal to the industry. 'Scarlett's first item number in Sandalwood is in Mahanadhi. She shot with us first and then for the other song,' says Krishappa.
'Our film will release first'
Prem Adda director Mahesh Babu, who has also shot with Scarlett says, 'We have finished shooting a song with Scarlett. We signed her up because we were impressed with her dancing skills in Shanghai. We booked her first. Irrespective of all claims, our film will release first, so she will be introduced by us.'
