Antara Mali

She would dispute Urmila’s case by making a song and naach about it on the Road. Antara reigns now, feeding Ramu her stories and scripts, too. The bomb with the brains. Maybe, woh Urmila Matondkar banna chaahti hai? Bod, yes. Face, er, how’s the weather?

Urmila Matondkar

The Masoom girl grew up into the sidelines of Bollywood till she blossomed into Rangeela Ramu’s first famous muse, and the most accomplished bimbo as well as actress. She proxied Sridevi, Ramu’s green days fantasy, in Mast and ruki ruki si zindagi, jhat se chal padi. Even when the Bhoot of the underworld took over Ramu, she answered to the outerworld call of Kaun? After all, Ek Hasina Thi, and still is, actually.

Katrina Kaif

Not an Item Girl, but that’s exactly what Ramu is famous for. He put the impossibly beautiful (and very possibly dumb) Kats in a characteristically glam role in Sarkar. He made her play squash, but not more. Ramu may not be scared of the underworld, but Salman, you know…

Nisha Kothari

The latest sex bomb to burst upon the Factory, once the glad eye of Ramu fell on her Chadhti jawaani music video. She got squeezed into Sarkar pronto, and then straight on to the whole movie, James. Ramu played up her Lolita image or was it his resident Sridevi babyfaced woman fantasy working?

Riya Sen

Need a break? Go to Ramu. That’s what Riya Who? did and shimmied up the credit titles in James. Now at least you know who that slithering little thing was. And hopefully, Ramu will blush when he casts her in the lead in James II.

Ishaa Koppikar

From behenji to bomb. Institutionalised the Ramu marka Item Girl and steamed ahead in her career after that as an actress with ‘it’. Without Ramu she would have been khallas.

Koena Mitra

She hit the Road singing Nikhal le bhaiye…though her bhaiye was definitely not Ramu. The Bong belle then became a Sunjay Dutt ka Musafir, but thereon said, she’s no Item Girl, boys, she’s an actress. True, she’s now become Pritish Nandy’s Item Actress in Ek Khiladi Ek Hasina.

Sameera Reddy

Model turned sultry siren, with Kate Winslet cuddly puppy fat, also a Musafir, knew no fear coz she knew with Ramu around Darna Mana Hai. From sweet to sexy it all happened in the Factory
