The superhit item number ‘Munni’ from last year’s biggest grosser ‘Dabangg’ will now see sex siren Mallika Sherawat dance on it in the films’ Tamil remake.  The news has been confirmed by filmmaker that she will shake a leg with Simbu in the Tamil version of the item song

Speaking to a daily, Simbu confirmed, "It`s true that Mallika Sherawat has confirmed to do the number." The actor added, "We were in talks with Katrina Kaif and Vidya Balan to do the song. Though both of them were interested, they couldn`t do it due to clash of dates. The makers had approached Mallika and she will dance for it."
