Dhurandhar continues to trend online for its storyline, performances, and music, with item track Shararat grabbing attention for its dance moves by Ayesha Khan and Krystle DSouza. Revealing a casting detail, choreographer Vijay Ganguly said Tamannaah Bhatia was first considered, but Aditya Dhar rejected the idea. "He didn’t want attention shifting from the story to one person," Vijay explained.
Dhurandhar has been making headlines across social media, earning praise for its storyline, the performances of Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and Rakesh Bedi, as well as its songs. Among them, the item track Shararat has left audiences obsessed with its catchy tune and energetic dance steps, featuring Ayesha Khan and Krystle DSouza, who have created quite a buzz.
Aditya Dhar Did NOT Want Tamannaah Bhatia For Shararat
Now, choreographer Vijay Ganguly has revealed that Tamannaah Bhatia was initially the first choice for Dhurandhar's item song, but director Aditya Dhar rejected the idea.
Speaking to Filmygyan, Vijay said that he had suggested Tamannaah’s name, "Aditya was very clear that he did not want what people call an item song, something that went out of the story. If it were just about one girl, it would have taken attention away from the story. That's why there are two girls, not one. He didn't want the attention to be about this one person. If it was Tamannaah, it would've been about her and not the story."
Furthermore, Vijay stated, "Jo ho raha tha film mein, there was a lot going on, and if you go away from the story, then the song is just a cut-to song."
In Shararat, the scene depicts Ranveer Singh's character, Hamza, marrying Sara Arjun's character, Yalina Jamali. The song plays during the wedding celebrations, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Vijay had previously choreographed the hit track Aaj Ki Raat from Stree 2.
