In South films, a special number, also known as an item song or dance number, is mandatory in every commercial film. They play the role of drawing huge crowds towards the film and attracting attention. And the makers are leaving no stone unturned to grab the attention of the audience by bringing in a fresh face to dance, unique dance moves and thumping music. Well, it would be interesting to know that many top actresses like Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Pooja Hegde and others did special dance numbers in the movies. These beauties are not afraid of the title of ‘item song’ and are also afraid of being typecast. She proved that she can be an actress who can try out-of-the-box with her song numbers, which not only earned her immense recognition but also blockbuster tracks.
From Samantha in Allu Arjun’s Pushpa’s Oo Antwa song to Ram Charan starrer Rangasthalam to Pooja Hegde in Jigelu Rani, Life Ante Itta Undala from F3.
Take a look at South actresses who rocked the big screen on special dance numbers in South Indian films.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu
Does the song Oo Antwa from the blockbuster movie Pushpa: The Rise need any introduction? Samantha mesmerized everyone with her dance moves in the song. This is her first show in such a bold avatar on a special number and she is very happy. While a section of the audience was in awe of the actress’ never-seen-before avatar, many criticized her for doing the item number, but she didn’t care. Not just his moves, everything about the song was perfect, from the sizzling chemistry with Allu Arjun and the lyrics by Chandra Bose to the catchy beat.
It’s been two years since the song released and people still haven’t gotten over it. The song crossed borders and is still being played at many public events and pubs around the world. In fact, recently, the hit track was played at a pub in Siberia, and Samantha, who was shooting for her web series Citadel, couldn’t help but show off her moves.
Pooja Hegde
Pooja Hegde first appeared in an item song or dance number in the 2018 superhit film Ram Charan Rangasthalam. She showed off her scintillating dance moves on the song Jigelu Rani with the RRR actor and impressed everyone. It didn’t seem like her first special song as she nailed every bit, be it expression, chemistry or dance. The actress got tremendous response from the audience for the song as well.
Radhe Shyam continues his love for special numbers as he dances again for Venkatesh and Varun Tej’s film F3. Unlike any ensemble song, Life Ente Itta Undala is a fun track and showcases its tunes along with the lead actors. His costumes and dance moves made the track a blockbuster hit. She was reportedly paid over Rs 1 crore for her 5-minute stint on the item song.
tamanna bhatia
Tamannaah Bhatia is one actress who is not afraid to explore. Not once or twice, the actress who is known to be one of the best dancers down south was featured in several item songs. She performed and danced to her item number Joke in Yash’s big hit KGF. After this, she also danced in the blockbuster Telugu song Swing Zara from Lava Kusa with Jr NTR and grabbed everyone’s attention. The actress also performed a special dance number with Bellamkonda Srinivas in Alludu Seenu and the song Kodathe with Varun Tej in Gani.

Kajal Aggrawal
