A slimmer, sexier Charmme set to rock in Mantra 2

Having recently completed shooting for what seems like a ���sequel��� to the 2007 chartbuster Maha Maha, Charmme sounds pretty up beat. ���It���s not exactly a sequel to the song, but it���s going to be 10 times bolder than the original,��� quips the actress, alluding to what was a toned downed rip off the 2006 Black Eyed Peas chartbuster, My Humps.Charmme scorched the screen in that number with her South Indian-style Hips Don���t Lie-inspired dance moves, creating quite a flutter, even as she raised the bar for bold dancing in T-Town.
Eight years on, Charmme is positive about raising the bar higher with her hot number in Mantra 2. ���After seeing this number, people will definitely forget Maha maha,��� she says, beaming. Admittedly, the song is ���sexy, glamourous, sensual, peppy and fun��� all at once. Sunil Kashyap has composed the music for the film and dance master Prem Rakshit, who had choreographed Maha Maha, has worked on this song too. ���We shot for five days on five different sets. The number will have everyone ��� right from school kids to elders, shaking a leg to the signature tune,��� adds the actress, who claims the horror element of the film is inspired from real life.
���The director has borrowed a few real life incidents and woven it into a script. When we started shooting for the film, we were clear about not having a single song. We wanted to give the film a Hollywood thriller feel, but the filmmakers decided to have this song on popular demand,��� adds Charmme, who is set to wrap up her next with Puri Jagannadh soon.
���I���ll finish shooting for Jyothi Lakshmi within a week. I���m pretty excited about both the films because I���ve played totally different characters. If Mantra 2 is a thriller, Jyothi Lakshmi is an out and out masala fare. The characterisation and dialogues will have the trademark Puri spunk,��� says Charmme, who thinks she���s going to look her ���slimmest��� in the film. ���I���ve been working out five times a week for the last few months and I feel great about the way I look,��� she says signing off.
