No Jugalbandi Between Deepika And Priyanka In BAJIRAO MASTANI
| |||
Saturday, 11th April 2015, 2:50 PM IST There were reports that like ‘Dola re’ in ‘Devdas’, even in ‘Bajirao Mastani’ we would get to see a jugalbandi between Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra. However, Pandit Birju Maharaj, who was to choreograph the jugalbandi, revealed that now he will only choreograph a solo act for Deepika. Pandit Birju Maharaj said, "Sanjay(Leela Bhansali) was having second thoughts about this jugalbandi and I will choreograph Deepika in a solo act which is a more contemporary adaptation of one of my own performances set on an Avadhi- Brijwasi thumri, Balma re chunaria maiko lal." "There's a lot of lal rang in the song with Deepika dressed in fiery red, her head demurely covered by a ghoonghat but her eyes flashing fire," he added. Pandit Birju Maharaj informs that he is cautious about working with untrained dancers, but SLB made him watch a Kathak piece that Deepika did in ‘Happy New Year’. "I figured she would be able to dance gracefully to the thumri Sanjay had picked out. And I was right. Deepika who has received formal training in Bharatnatyam quickly mastered the footwork when she came for riyaaz to Delhi," Panditji said. Talking about shooting the song, he said, "She's not afraid of last-minute changes and is in no hurry. We shoot at our own sweet pace. We'll be shooting for 12 nights at a stretch. And till then I've given Deepika lots of homework that'll keep her busy."
