The first song of Pathaan – ‘Besharam Rang‘ was dropped recently and the internet has been going berserk over it. The video on YouTube has garnered around 22M views in one day’s time. The credit goes not only to Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan‘s sizzling chemistry, but also the choreography that people couldn’t take their eyes off. And all of that credit goes to Vaibhavi Merchant.
Choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant, who is known to present the hottest versions of leading ladies on screen – Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Kajra Re from Bunty Aur Babli, Katrina Kaif in Kamli from Dhoom: 3 to the sizziling Deepika Padukone in Besharam Rang, is over the moon with the response to the song.
Here’s what she had to say…
In my body of work, I have probably consciously made an effort to ensure that the female leads are always presented very aesthetically. For instance, with Ash (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) in Kajra Re, I made it a point to kind of enhance the expressions in the way she did her adaakari. In Kamli with Katrina again, I kept in my what Katrina would look great doing.
Vaibhavi wanted to present Deepika in a way that she has never been presented before and gives Shaleena Nathani credit for the eye-catching costumes. She was impressed with the way she just approached all the costumes and how she was okay with wearing everything that was presented to her. Vaibhavi also tell us that Deepika put in a lot of hard work to look the way she is looking in Besharam Rang. She had an entire crew of dietitians, her physical trainer and the costume designer.
This onscreen pair that have won your heart in Om Shanti Om and Chennai Express are all set to present to you the most visually spectacular Yash Raj Films’ action extravaganza. Pathaan is set to release on Jan 25, 2023 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
