I want to do an item number next: Aditi Rao Hydari

After trying her hand at singing for her film London, Paris, New York, actress Aditi Rao Hydari says she is keen to do an item song in her next project.

The Murder 3 star, who is a trained classical dancer and began her career with dance-based Tamil film Sringaram, feels she is fit for raunchy dance numbers.

"I would love to do an item number. The song should be raunchy and it should have some 'desi' and fun beats. Since I am a trained classical dancer, I will be able to do justice to it. I have never been vocal about my singing abilities but I am always ready to present my dancing skills," Aditi told PTI.

In her last outing, Vishesh Bhatt's Murder 3, she opted for the role of vivacious Rashmi because she wanted to be a part of thriller.

"I feel lucky to have been a part of the film. I love my character because it celebrates life. It is a very strong character and being a part of Bhatt's production is a dream come true. When Vishesh offered me the role, I could not believe it," she said.

Having begun her career in Bollywood with a small role in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi 6, Aditi proved herself with films like Yeh Saali Zindagi, Rockstar and London, Paris, New York. She feels that she is a dark horse in the industry.

"I didn't have any godfather in the industry and had to prove myself with each film. I didn't get that great a launch as an actress but slowly and steadily I made my presence felt in the industry. I feel I am the dark horse in this race," she said.

The actress will be seen next in Akshay Kumar-starrer Naam Hai Boss, which is the remake of Malayalam hit Pokkiri Raja.
