The Pakistani cinema industry has often argued ‘to item number or not to item number’. They can’t even agree on a label as to whether it’s a ‘dance number’, ‘item song’,\u00a0 or something else. Now even starlet Amna Ilyas is offering her two cents on the matter.<\/p>\n
In particular, the supermodel-cum-actress offered her opinion on her own item numbers in Pakistani films till now. Recently, the Tum Mere Paas Raho<\/em><\/strong> actress\u00a0landed in hot waters when she grooved to the beats of her new electrifying song \u2018Aatish\u2019 from the film Chaudhry<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t As per the Baaji<\/em><\/strong> star, the label ‘item song<\/em>‘ and the way it is interpreted, does not exactly do justice to the purpose of making these dance numbers. Speaking to a local news outlet<\/a>, she said;<\/p>\n \u201cI believe that society has concocted a certain perception for the term \u2018item song\u2019 that automatically adds a degrading and derogatory spin to the finished product.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n She added how such dance numbers add a little extra to the film.<\/p>\n \u201cPerformance songs are meant to add flavour to a film. They\u2019re meant to serenade the audience with a catchy tune and introduce them to a dancer who can pull off immaculate moves.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On the work front, Amna Ilyas was last spotted in the dance number for the song \u2018Aatish\u2019 in the film Chaudhry<\/em><\/strong>. This movie is directed by Azeem Sajjad and co-directed and produced by Neha Laaj under the banner of LAAJ Productions.<\/p>\n\t\t The Chaudhry <\/em><\/strong>cast includes Sana Fakhar, Yasir Hussain, Nawal Saeed, Sohail Sameer, Jia Ali, Arbaz Khan, Saleem Mairaj, Shamoon Abbasi, and others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Pakistani cinema industry has often argued ‘to item number or not to item number’.
