 The team of upcoming film Ek Deewana Tha has cleared the air over the song Hosanna, which is a part of the flick. British model and actor Amy Jackson, who stars in the movie said that being a Christian, she has been chanting hymns since the age of five and never felt that the song  would hurt  people’s sentiments. “When I heard this song for the first time, it touched my heart. It’s a beautiful song,” says the 
21-year-old.
The chief executive officer at Fox Star, Vijay Singh, also tried to clear the controversy surrounding the track. “The position is very clear on this. We have a censor clearance for the song in the film,” he says.
“The final authority of the law of the land is the Censor Board, so we will never do anything which is wrong or which goes against the law in this country. We are  looking for support from the media and the people,” he adds.
The song, composed by AR Rahman, got embroiled in a controversy when a Catholic community called Catholic- Christian Secular Forum (CSF), wanted the removal of the word Hosanna from the song, claiming that it would upset the religious sentiments of Christians and Jews.

 says Amy Jackson, who is now in the running with Nargis Fakhri for Nikhil Advani's next film

Her Bollywood debut may not have released yet, but Amy Jackson already seems to be hotting up the competition among

B-town's newbies. The latest is that she is being pitted against Rockstar girl Nargis Fakhri for Nikhil Advani's next film, which has Arjun Rampal in the lead. In fact, it is being reported that while the makers are keen on Amy, Arjun wants Nargis to be his co-star. "I've been meeting producers and actors, but it is not about this film. Nothing is concrete about that at the moment," says Amy.

Quiz Amy how it feels to be the one of the most sought-after actors in the industry and she says, "It's a bit crazy as I never thought of acting as a career. I can't believe all this is happening to me, but I am definitely here to stay. And I am happy to be in Indian cinema," she says.

Amy, who made her Indian film debut with the Tamil film Madrasapattinam, will start shooting for director Vijay's action thriller, Thaandavam - which is reportedly a bilingual in Tamil and Telugu - in March. "It's a completely different film and I will get to show off my action skills in it. Vijay gave me my first break and it's great to work with him again," says Amy, who wants to make inroads into Tollywood as well. "The industry is big and if I get an interesting role, I will take it up," she says.
