Taapsee
Pannu is currently touring the country with her Manmarziyaan co-stars Abhishek
Bachchan and Vicky Kaushal to promote the brilliant album of the Anurag Kashyap
helmed romantic drama.
Although
several songs from the film have released and are already a raging hit across
radio stations and with the fans, the entire album is yet to come out.
One of
the songs, Kundali, which is a sangeet number, released recently much to the
anticipation of the audience. Sticking to the Punjabi essence of the film, the
song is a proper bhangra number, pictured on Taapsee.
But the credit for
choreography goes to two southern artists. Sisters Navadevi and Navalakshmi,
who are extremely popular down South and have worked with industry veterans
like Rajnikanth and Kamal Hassan, choreographed the Soorma actress, who is
playing a Sikhni in the film.
This is the first time they're working in
Bollywood and agreed to choreograph the song as they wanted to work with
Taapsee and Anurag. Also, as two full fledged south Indians they choreographed
a complete bhangra number, much to the awe of the cast and crew.
“I
was pleasantly surprised when Anurag Kashyap told me he has gotten new girls
from the south to choreograph the song. I almost didn’t believe him when he
told me this first. I thought he was joking. Until one day I turned up at the
rehearsal and realised he wasn’t. He wanted a new take on a sangeet number.
Punjabi sangeet numbers are done to death in our films and he thought getting
new choreographers who are not of the same background as the song and flavour
of the film might just get in something refreshing which I feel it did. The
song is beautiful and the peppy choreography these 2 girls added to it makes it
fresh and exciting to watch. It’s the first time Anurag has a proper lip sync
dancing number in his film so expect something unique for sure!”
Kundali’s
audio came out on Friday, but we cannot wait for the video to release to see
the magic the sisters have created!
