Poonam Pandey

     Strip queen Poonam Pandey is currently in Bangalore. The Nasha actress is in the city to shoot for her item number in the Rajesh-starrer Love is Poison. According to a source, Poonam will spend the weekend meeting the media, as well as choreographer Tribhuvan to plan the moves for her dance routine. "The actual shoot for the song will start on Monday," says producer Somshekhar.  Meanwhile, the buzz in Gandhinagar is that Poonam agreed to be a part of the film, which has Rajesh (of Jungle Jackie fame) in the lead, because she was paid a bomb for it, with industry sources pegging it at a whopping Rs 60 lakh.
One wonders, though, why Poonam would make her Kannada debut in a film with Rajesh and a source tells us. "Poonam has heard that Rajesh hails from a tribal region in Karnataka. And since she has participated in the show Khatron Ke Khiladi, in which she had to live in tribal conditions, she found it exciting to meet Rajesh and interact with him," says the source.
