Preeti Jhangiani
The director of Telugu, Raj K.S. Gopi has said that Bollywood actress Preeti Jhangiani's song in the film, "Tejam" will boost her career in southern films.
Gopi told IANS: "I'm doing a film with eight newcomers. Preeti is well-known in Telugu but so far she has done mostly offbeat, mellow roles. Now that she is doing an item number, her career will get a boost."
Preeti has said that she is playing a "vital role in "Tejam" and was quoted as saying, "My role is important to the story as is my dance number. "
Apparently pictures of Preeti in a skimpy outfit have created a wave in Hyderabad ahead of the movie's release, and source says that she was looking forward to the image makeover, reports Masala.
"After her marriage to Parvin Dabbas last year, Preeti's career was going nowhere. The item number will make people sit up and take notice, hopefully," a source said.
