/> It's his first -ever item song and his only guest apperance so far.

After Abhishek Bachchan in Rakht and Shah Rukh Khan in Kal, Bollywood has another item boy.

Dino Morea is doing what he calls a rocking dance number for Jahnu Barua's Har Pal which is being shot at the moment at the Film City.

Says Dino, "Yeah. it's just a guest appearance. It's my first item song and that too a really rocking number by Pritam. And I get to play a deejay.

I hate the term 'item song'.It reduces me to a commodity. But the track was too sizzling to resist and I'm getting to dance with two of the hottest ladies in show biz. I mean Preity Zinta and Issha Koppiker."

Dino and Preity go back a long way. "I know her from the time she first came to Mumbai. We were both new and great friends. I feel so proud to see her making such confident strides. And she's also become such a terrific dancer. I'm enjoying the thought of dancing with her and Isha. Vaibhavi Merchant will choreograph."

There's another reason for Dino's guest appearance. "I wanted to work with a director from the other kind of cinema. Jahnu Barua is fantastic. I'm now keen to work with more off-mainstream directors like Rituparno Ghosh and Deepa Mehta."
