Amma did a cabaret 40 years back, she was a trendsetter: Soha Ali Khan

Mumbai: Soha Ali Khan has not just worn a bikini in her upcoming film 'Mr. Joe B Carvalho', but has also grooved to a cabaret number. She says she has added her own touch to it.

Soha's mother, veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, also featured in a cabaret years back in 'An Evening In Paris', the same film in which she even flaunted a bikini.

But Soha says she didn't take any cues from her.

"My mother did a cabaret some 40 years back. So she is a trendsetter. I did not talk to her about mine but I am sure she will like it. It is very elegant and I did it my way," she said here.

At the first look launch of the film Saturday, Soha also said that in the entire film she has not worn a normal outfit even once.

"It's not just a bikini, I have not worn even one normal costume in the film. There is a police costume, apsara outfit, cabaret costume, a towel. But I did not get to wear a jeans or t-shirt," Soha said.

Directed by Samir Tewari, the film also stars Javed Jaffrey, Arshad Warsi and Geeta Basra. It hits theatres Jan 3, 2014.
