People still call me Yeh Chikitha

Ameesha Patel is making comeback into Tollywood and how? Known for her glamour quotient and intense characters, the actress will be seen in a sizzling special number in a Telugu film ‘Akathayi’ directed by Ram Bhimana. This is the first time the ‘Nani’ actress will be flaunting her svelte figure in a song after featuring as the leading lady in a handful of films in Telugu.

“It’s the young team and energetic song that made me say yes to the project. I will be seen doing some hip-shaking steps for the title track ‘Akathayi’. It is a fast-paced dance number, and I am ecstatic about choreographer Jani master’s dance moves. I sport rustic outfits in the song and hopefully Tollywood gets to see my other side,” she explains.

Ask the Mumbai actress how she’s feeling to be back in Tollywood, she replies, “I worked with the finest actors like NTR, Balakrishna, Mahesh Babu and it’s always great to work in the industry. I learnt a lot over the years and would love to do more Telugu films. When people see in at the airport, they still call me ‘Yeh Chikitha’ (a famous number from her Telugu debut ‘Badri’ ).”The romantic entertainer features newcomers Ashish Raj and Rukhsar Meer.
