Actress Kavitta Verma admits she has been fortunate to groove to the "Hai ishq Krishna ki leela", an item number from forthcoming film "Policegiri", under ace choreographer Ganesh Acharya's guidance.
Mincing no words in praising Acharya, she said: "I feel fortunate that I did my first song with Ganesh Acharya, who choreographed the song. He pulls out the talent within you."
A trained Kathak dancer, Kavitta said she learnt how to belly dance for the number.
"He blended both these dance forms and has presented it very beautifully," she added.
Recently, Kavitta was caught up in a controversy regarding her scant dressing and for sporting a rosary on her body and the Holy Cross on her belly in the item song. But she apologised for it.
Directed by K.S. Ravikumar and produced by T.P. Aggarwal and his son Rahul Aggarwal, "Policegiri", starring Sanjay Dutt and Prachi Desai, releases July 5.
