Raveena has earlier done women oriented films like Daman and Satta and is banking highly on her character in Alert. Excited now about Alert, back to chiffon sarees!!The character I'm playing is very powerful and different from BHTB. I play an understated sophisticated powerful woman in Alert. said Raveena.

Alert has been directed by a new ad film director Santosh, who has previously worked in South India.

Raveena praises Anupam Kher's sense of humour

"Loved working with Anupam Kher again after years, still retains amazing ability of keeping everyone in splits with his wicked sense of humour," Raveena wrote on her Twitter page. 

"Still remember Parampara, it was very difficult to keep from laughing out loud even in serious scenes, with Anupam around... Zamana Deewana too," she added. 

Both of them also worked in Ladla and they were last seen in 1998 film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. 

Anupam wrote on his Twitter page: "Worked with Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon after a long time. It felt good. Their warmth was heart warming."

No sexual nuisance in my song: Raveena

The mast-mast girl of the 90s, Raveena Tandon, is all set to make a rocking comeback with Puri Jagannath's Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap.

The actress has ensured that her comeback is truly sensational and therefore she jumped at the opportunity to flaunt her latkas-jhatkas in an item song Chandigarh Ki Kudi.

But Raveena emphasizes that the number is a fun song. The actress, who is remembered for her songs like Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast and Shehar Ki Ladki, reveals that she doesn't like today's item songs.

She reveals that she is not a fan of the so called famous Sheila and Munni songs. The actress believes that her songs in the 90s were better as they had no double meaning, yet became a hit and made her famous. "Sheila and Munni were very sexy and sexually blatant songs, whereas Chandigarh is Kudi isn't like that. It's a fun song. I play a Punjabi girl Kammo who thinks the entire Chandigarh is crazy about her," revealed Raveena.

Speaking more about the song she said, "It's a very cute song. There's no double meaning or sexual nuisance. It's very clean." Well from Shehar Ki Ladki to Chandigarh Ki Kudi, Raveena still looks as ravishing. The song has been composed by Vishal-Shekhar and sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. It is choreographed by Raveena's close friend Shabina Khan.

Don't expect a lot from my item song because I am fully clothed in it: Raveena Tandon

Raveena Tandon who is making a comeback to item songs with her number "Main Chandigarh di star" in "Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap", doesn't call it her comeback film.

"Comeback is a very overrated word. Whenever I do something after even a little gap people term it as a comeback. How many times will I make a comeback? I would prefer to call it a backdoor entry into films, " she said.

Raveena, who last had a release in 2006 with a film called "Sandwich", has really shaped up and lost oodles of weight. She is known for her moves in item songs like "Tu cheez badi hai mast mast", "Yeh raat" and "Shehar ki ladki".

But the actress maintains that her item song in "Bbuddah..." is not a typical item number.

"Honestly it's not a typical item song of today. The coinage of an item song nowadays is a little different. Now item means something else only, but I have maintained that please don't expect a lot from the song because I am fully clothed in it, " Raveena told in an interview.

Raveena said she loved her character in the film.

"It is a very cool, fun song. The character of the girl, who is a very talkative, over dressed, over the top person, and thinks of herself as a rockstar, is understood through this song, " she said.

"So, basically, it is an introduction to my character. It is catchy and I loved moving on it. The best thing was that we finished it in one shift, " she added.

In the film that has been directed by Puri Jagannath and is slated to hit screens July 1, the 36-year-old actress will be seen opposite Amitabh Bachchan and this will be her fourth film with the megastar after "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan", "Aks" and "Agni Varsha".

"When this film was offered to me first, I had thought that I won't be able to do it, but then everyone said that you have to do it because this is perfect for you and only you can do it.

Then I got to know that Mr. Bachchan is behind this, so I thought that even if I have five scenes with him, it will be great for me. This will be my fourth film with him, so in that thought I said yes to this film, " said the actress.

Reminiscing her experience of working with the 68-year-old actor this time around, Raveena said: "My equation with Mr. Bachchan depends on the film that I am doing with him. Like in 'Bade Miyan...', I was like a brat with him always, since he has seen me since my childhood.

But in 'Aks', it was very difficult for me because I had a very different role there."

A mother of two, Raveena said she is overawed by Bachchan.

"I have idolised him since my childhood. Whenever I meet him I start rambling, I become nervous when he is around and I goof up a lot; so throughout 'Aks' I kept a distance from him, so that I can do the strong, confrontational, intense scenes with him, " Raveena said.

"In this film, it was very comfortable because I'm playing myself a carefree person.

I was allowed to say anything to him because the character was like this; so I wasn't even scared that he might feel bad. It was very easy and fun to play this role with him, " she added.

Raveena has already completed a bilingual film called "Laboratory". She is also doing "Aap Ke Liye Hum" with Jaya Bachchan which is still under production.

Ravishing Raveena Tandon, who grooved to songs like "Tu cheez badi hai mast mast" and "Kisi disco mein" in her heydays, will now be seen shaking a leg once again in "Bbuddah - Hoga Terra Baap".

"Helllllooooo everybodyyy! Super super cool song I'm shooting for 'Bbuddah... Hoga tera baap'! Chandigarh ki kudi-chandigarh ki star!! Super fun! (sic)," Raveena posted on her Twitter page. However, the 36-year-old, who is now seen in few films only, clarifies that the song is not an item number. "Can't call it an ITEM number though as I'm fully clothed!! hahahhaah! But a super dance track by Vishal shekhar and sung by my fav!! Sunidhi," she added. 

Raveena has earlier said she has only a brief appearance in "Bbuddah", but she is more than delighted with the chance of working with megastar Amitabh Bachchan once again. The Puri Jagannath-directed film will release July 1.
