Katrina's 'Sheila ki jawani' fails to impress Nana

Katrina Kaif may have become a rage with her saucy song "Sheila ki jawani", but actor Nana Patekar who has worked with her in the past says he was not so impressed with the hit item number from "Tees Maar Khan".

"I have seen Katrina in a different way. I didn't like to see her doing 'Sheila ki jawani'," Nana told IANS.

Nana and Katrina shared screen space in "Welcome" and "Raajneeti". Though Nana has no reservation for item numbers and featured in one himself - "Hoth rasiley" in Welcome - he feels such songs should be situational.

"I can't use gimmick and item songs in my films for public attraction. If it's used, it should be like 'Seekh le' of 'Munna Bhai M. B. B. S.'," he added.
