What? You gotta be kidding me! Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla is doing a Kannada movie titled Pushpak Vimana in which she will do an item song as part of her cameo appearance.

Juhi C, all of us know, no more plays the female lead (as in young dancing-around-the-trees heroine type roles) in Indian movies, mainly because she’s in her late-40s. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. This is the reason that you have to hand it to the woman for accepting such a challenging task. Challenging: because she might sprain her ankle or hurt her knee during a dance sequence. After all, she is not a spring chicken anymore.
