Meghna Naidu adds spice to 100% Love

Following the current trend and the success of his previous films, director Sukumar has shot an item number for his next film 100% Love. The special song is picturized on sultry Meghna Naidu.

Sukumar has shot a special number on Meghna Naidu with a group of hijras (eunuchs). Sources say that the director has taken a special care for the song, as the audience always expect some catchy item numbers from his films. The song has come out very well, says a source.

It may be recalled that Sukumar's previous movies Arya and Arya 2 had special numbers like 'Aa ante amalapuram...' and 'Ringa ringa...', which were an instant hits among the masses. On the other hand, Meghna Naidu's item numbers 'Vataava...' from Vikramarkudu, 'Cheli Chamaku...' from Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule and 'Neela megha...' from Pandurangadu were superhits, which has added fuel to the expectations of the audience.

However, 100% Love stars Naga Chaitanya and Tamanna Bhatia in the lead roles. It is produced by Bunny Vasu on the banner Geetha Arts. The movie is expected to release in April 2011.
