The ultimate hottie of Bollywood Urmila Matondkar is all set to make a comeback after a gap of 10 years. The actress will be seen doing an item number, Bewafa Beauty in Irrfan Khan starrer Blackmail. Abhinav Deo, the director of the film explained why urmila fit the bill perfectly for the song. “Urmila is a massive star. She is not an item girl. We wanted a performer, someone who had a tremendous star value but hadn’t been seen on the silver screen for a while now. From all the names we came up with, I believe we picked the best. She fit the bill perfectly. She is gorgeous and incredible as a dancer. It ended up being a perfect match for the song and the film,” he was quoted saying by a leading daily.

Talking about the song, he said, “Initially, there was no song in the film. But when we were discussing the film creatively and with Bhushan, who is the head of T-Series and has a keen ear for music, he felt that there should be a song weaved into the narrative. As he said that, I remembered that I had been dabbling with an idea where I wanted a song which could take the story ahead. I did not want an item number appearing in the film out of nowhere. We knew that the song should be able to say something in the story. This is what “Bewafa Beauty” is about. With its name, the song focuses on an unfaithful beauty. That also forms the film’s premise. It is about a man whose wife is unfaithful to him. Then, through the song, as I gave the brief to Amitabh and Amit, I wanted to revive the memory of fantastic songs of this kind from the past. And that’s why we cast Urmila.”

Bewafa Beauty from Blackmail will be releasing on March 23 i.e. tomorrow.
