No, they didn't have Priyanka Chopra on hand to do her Babli Badmaash number (if you missed that launch, click here) but they did have the two other stars - Sunny Leone and Sophie Choudry.

Dressed in a black lehenga choli, Sunny grooved to her song O laila on stage.

"As a little girl, you watch all these Bollywood movies with beautiful women dancing and singing," Sunny said at the music launch.

"Never in a million years did I think of being here and having a chance to make something like this."

Sophie, who features in Ala re ala manya ala grabbed her few minutes in the spotlight by taking the stage with John Abraham.

Director Sanjay Gupta is unapologetic about the three item songs in Shootout at Wadala. His take: "For me, any Hindi film that does not have entertaining songs is not entertaining." Noted!
