With the first project being driven by the famed dancer Ganesh Acharya, who has worked on well-known choreographies, including the ones for Sadda Dil Vi Tu from ABCD – Any Body Can Dance and Havan Kund from Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, another big moment is expected. “The song is high on energy, dramatic, and visually lavish as is expected from a Bhansali creation. The shoot will kick off on January 20 with the three leads in Film City, Goregaon,” said a source, revealing the plan.
Meanwhile, a second song will be shot for in early February, in what is being called the director’s ‘most experimental musical set-pieces to date.’ Choreographer Shiamak Davar will lead the project with a contemporary vibe to the filming. “It is unlike anything Bhansali has attempted before.
