No item number for Rajinikanth in Talaash

Talaash director Reema Kagti has denied that Rajinikanth is being roped in for a song-and-dance sequence in the movie -- a rumour that has left the legendary superstar's camp flummoxed.


Rajinikanth's associates have informed that he isn't amused with the news either.

Asked if Rajinikanth is turning into an item boy for the Aamir Khan-starrer, Kagti said: "Not true."

In the meantime, the iconic actor is busy with his southern project.

A source said: "At the moment Rajiniji is completely involved with every department of his new film Kochadaiyyan. He is not even looking at doing any other work. He spends all his time with the post-production team.

Rajinikanth's first item number for Aamir Khan @ Rs 15 cr

Is Thalaivar joining the item roll call? The grapevine reports that Tamil superstar Rajinikanth has agreed to appear in an item number in Aamir Khan's delayed project Talaash.


And what might an appearance of this sort by one of India's biggest stars cost? Rumour puts the price tag at a whopping Rs 15 crores, and could be one of the most expensive item songs ever. This will be the 61-year-old Robot actor's first item number.

Besides Rajini sir's fees, the song will cost the production team of Talaash a whopping Rs 50 crore.

If reports are to believed then this item number will be shot at 50 locations across 200 countries and will also feature the who's who of Bollywood, cricket legends and politicians. Talaash, which has been delayed because of Aamir Khan's TV debut, is set to release in November this year.

All in all, this will be one helluva item. We say, mind it!
