Vidya Balan again sizzles in a red sari in her first item number in "Ferrari Ki Sawari", but director Rajesh Mapuskar says he will take a green signal from local Lavani dancers for the Maharashtrian number before releasing it.

Vidya's item song in the Sharman Joshi-starrer is called "Mala jao dya na ghari".

"We want the song to look purely authentic. We are in talks with a bunch of Lavani dancers from Kolhapur for the first test screening, " said Mapuskar.

True to the flavour of the song, Vidya has worn a traditional Maharashtrian attire, but instead of the typical green, she chose a ravishing red. Perhaps, it has to do with her superstition that a red sari worked wonders for her when she flaunted it in her 2011 blockbuster "The Dirty Picture".

The actress has given the song her best shot - she is said to have undergone three weeks of intense rehearsal with a troupe from Kohlapur.
