Malaika had created a stir with her Chaiyya Chaiyya number opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Maniratnam’s Dil Se in 1998 when Bollywood was just waking up to the concept of item girls.

She will now jive to the tantalising title Munni Badnaam in the film, which is set against the backdrop of politics and crime in UP and Bihar, starring Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, daughter of actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha.

“Yes, Malaika has appeared in this fun dance number which is going to be a highlight of Dabangg. Salman too will be making an appearance in the song though it is not clear whether he will be dancing with Malaika or not,” a source said.

Incidentally, this is the first time that Malaika would be appearing in an item song for a home production even as Arbaaz, Sohail and Salman have been making films for quite a few years now.

The song will have a raunchy touch to it. Sajid-Wajid, regulars with Salman Khan after creating music in films like Veer, Wanted, Partner, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Tere Naam, have composed songs for Dabangg while Jalees Sherwani has written the lyrics.

Other than Malaika Arora, the song also features Sonu Sood who is the main antagonist in the film.
