Imagine a sensuous girl masquerading as a man for half the length of a film. And then she drops her clothes and does a sizzling song while wrapped in just a towel. All this is a part of Amrita Arora’s role in the new Victoria No.203
She's extremely excited about having to play Saira Banu's role. "I'm very excited because a lot of people feel I resemble Saira Banuji. In half the film I get to masquerade as a man. And yes I'll be doing Sairaji's sizzling towel dance in Victoria 203," laughs Amrita.
In the original Saira Banu had brought the house down doing the sensuous dance number Thodasa Thehro. It remains to be seen whether the re-makers – producer Kamal Sadanah and director Ananth Mahadevan retain the original Lata Mangeshkar track.
After Priyanka Chopra in Don and Aishwarya Rai in Umrao Jaan who have been given the thankless task of re-doing roles immortalized by Zeenat Aman and Rekha, respectively, it's petite Amrita's turn to do a Saira Banu. "Please don't scare me. Comparisons are so paralyzing."
