Rani the item girl in HOUSEFULL 2

Though there were talks of Rani Mukherjee doing an item number in HOUSEFULL 2, it has turned out to be a hoax call.

"After the success of NO ONE KILLED JESSICA, rumours were flying thick that Sajid Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala were very keen to bring Rani on board for a specially designed item number in HOUSEFULL 2," informs a source, "It would have been special because in her decade long career so far, Rani has done only one item number for a film where she is not a lead actress. That was for 'Kaali Nagin' opposite Aamir Khan in MANN."

What would have made this item number further special is Rani being in the same film as Akshay. Though confirmation is yet awaited on whether Akshay and other boys (John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade) would feature in the item song, it seems like a tempting preposition, especially after 'Dhanno' (Jacqueline, Akshay, Arjun, Riteish).
