Since Shield Ki Jawani performed by Katrina Kaif in Tees Maar Khan is the current gold standard amidst Bollywood item songs, which actress would have a better chance of outdoing it and raising the bar than Katrina herself?
That seems to be what Salman Khan believes, because he has requested Katrina to perform an item number for Bodyguard that will roll with the film's opening credits.
According to Bollywood Hungama, the item song will be scored by Himesh Reshammiya and choreographed by Ganesh Acharya; and yes, Himesh is back in Salman's good books, having apologized and made up for his past brashness.
