Actress Harshika Poonacha, who is a favourite for stage shows and dance performances iat award ceremonies, has landed her first special dance number. The actress will be grooving to a song set to tune by Arjun Janya in the upcoming film Case No 18/9.

“I’ve gained confidence in my dancing abilities after the many stage shows I’ve done in the recent past. I cannot wait to dance to this song. It is a disco number,” says Harshika. The film, which is the remake of the Tamil hit Vazhakku Enn 18/9, features Shweta Pandit, Sindhu Loknath and Niranjan in the lead roles. While the original didn’t have any special song sequence, director Mahesh Rao has said that he has tweaked the script to include the song.

“I have never made a special appearance in a dance number for any film before this. It was after listening to the song that I was convinced to accept the offer,” says Harshika, who coincidentally happened to act in director Mahesh’s Murali Meets Meera, where her cameo won a lot of applause.
