Caterina Lopez: Dancing on Bollywood item number isn't easy:

Caterina Lopez: Dancing on Bollywood item number isn't easy: : To someone used to shaking a leg to the beat of western music, dancing to the Bollywood tune and doing the quintessentially desi jhatkas of patli kamar took some getting used to. But Caterina Lopez did get the hang of a Bollywood item song.

Out of the blue, Caterina has hit the headlines for her raunchy item in director Ankush Bhatt’s film Bhindi Bazaar Inc. She claims to be a cousin sister of Jennifer Lopez but prefers not to talk about her relationship with the Hollywood star.

What she’s talking about rather is her experience of doing a Bollywood item.

“It was not easy learning the whole Bollywood style of dancing because it's very different. It's a different ball game altogether. Learning the song was also very tough but once I got a hang of it, it became better. Honestly I think I did a good job,” Caterina is quoted as saying by a news agency.

Now, Caterina is eyeing a career in Bollywood and is planning to learn Hindi soon.

“I'm still struggling with the language. Here and there I've learned a few words, but I'm definitely planning to get a teacher and learn Hindi completely,” she added.

If good offers come her way, Caterina says she might even make Mumbai her second home.

She’s most welcome.

Dabangg’s latest item song Munni makes Zandu Balm badnaam?

Dabangg’s latest item song Munni makes Zandu Balm badnaam?: “Main Zandu Balm hui, darling tere liye” gyrates Malaika Arora to the popular item song ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’ from the current box office rage Dabangg starring Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles.

But the line hasn’t gone down well with the makers of the Zandu Balm, a pain relief ointment. From what we hear, the company has sent a legal notice to producers Arbaaz Khan, Malaika Arora, Shri Ashtavinayak and director Abhinav Kashyap for using the company’s popular brand name in the song without permission.

The company’s counsel Ashok M Saraogi has sent a notice which reportedly says: “In the song, the name Zandu balm has been used continuously at various places. By using the brand name in the song, you have not only violated the copyright of my clients, but you have also made an attempt to defame the reputation of my clients and the product manufactured by them.”

The manufacturers of Zandu balm want the name deleted from the song.
