Producer Bandla Ganesh has rebuffed the rumour doing the rounds that Malaika Arora Khan was paid Rs. 1 crore for Kevvu Keka song in ‘Gabbar Singh’. “There is no truth in this,” he categorically stated yesterday, without revealing the remuneration paid to the Munni sensation.
He also revealed that many sizzlers were approached for the song. “But we finally zeroed in on Malaika,” he said. Natalia Kaur was one among the item girls who was offered the song.
