According to choreographer Vijay Ganguly, the plan was to rope in Tamannaah Bhatia for the performance. “In my mind, she was the perfect fit,” Vijay revealed in a chat with ‘Filmygyan’.
But director Aditya Dhar had other plans. He didn’t want the song to turn into what people call an “item number,” taking the spotlight away from the story.
“If it were just about one girl, it would have taken attention away from the story,” Vijay said.
Aditya’s solution? Instead of one big-name star, why not two dancers? That’s how Ayesha and Krystle stepped in. Vijay explained, “He didn’t want the attention to be about just one person. If it were Tamannaah, it would’ve all been about her, not the story.”
He also added that with so much happening in the film, the song needed to stay connected to the plot. “If you stray from the story, the song becomes just a cut-to song,” he said.
