Item girl Koena Mitra is thrilled at the prospect of performing along with international pop diva Nelly Furtado on the New Year eve.

She along with Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapur is gearing up to sizzle the stage with the international singer Dec 31, reports Bollywood Trade.

“i’ll be grooving to all my songs including my latest tracks from ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’. Varied artists like Nelly, Canada-based Punjabi band JOSH, A.R. Rahman, Shahid and Priyanka are performing so, it’ll be a great fun. With a combination of such diverse artists, the show is bound to be a lot spicier,” said Koena.

So, is she not anxious about sharing stage with Grammy winner Nelly Furtado?

“i’m pretty used to shows, especially solo shows, so i’m not nervous. in fact, i am excited and looking forward to Dec 31. The grand finale will be a medley of songs. it’s a live show and an opportunity to reach out to an international audience,” she adds.

Furtado’s debut album “Whoa Nelly” was released in 2000 and spawned the hit single “i’m like a bird”. Her songs “Promiscuous” and “Maneater” from her new album “Loose” are topping the charts.

On the work front, Koena has two films with Sanjay Gupta and Subhash Ghai in her kitty. But the actress is currently kicked about her role in Ananth Mahadevan’s “Anamika - The Untold Story”.

“it’s a romantic thriller loaded with suspense. it’s based on three characters - Dino Morea, Minissha Lamba and me. Ananth has worked really hard in shaping our respective characters. it’s a serious role minus singing and dancing. The look of the film is spectacular since we’ve shot in Bikaner and Gajner,” said Koena who plays Dino’s childhood sweetheart in it.
