"Priyadarshan sir calls it a title song not an item song. He has been a dream director," Vineeta told IANS.

"Well if you see the video, even though I am wearing a bikini it does not come across as vulgar, one can sit with the family and watch the song.”

"I am lucky that I found a role, and when a director like Priyadarshan approaches you, one doesn't say no."

Was she hesitant as a newcomer doing an item number? "No, I was not but I was afraid of being categorized as an item girl," she said.

Vineeta, a former Gladrags model and winner of the Miss Photogenic award in 2007, said: "Modelling was easy and now it's absolutely Bollywood for me."
