Namitha, who did a cameo with Vijay in 'Azhagiya Thamizh Magan' has reportedly refused an offer to do an item number when Prabhudeva approached her for the Vijay starrer 'Villu'.

According to sources, Namitha has refused the offer following her recent decision not to accept cameos or item numbers as she feels they would mar her image.

The actress is currently performing in lead roles in a handful of films, including 'Perumal', 'Indira Vizha' and 'Jagan Mohini'. She played breezy roles in 'Billa' and 'Azhagiya Thamizh Magan'.

Namitha reportedly is mighty keen to continue playing heroine.
