Madhuri excited about Priyanka, Deepika's 'lavani' number
Mumbai, April 24
Actress Madhuri Dixit, who performed 'lavani' in the song "Humko aajkal
hai", says she is looking forward to Priyanka Chopra and Deepika
Padukone's dance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's forthcoming magnum opus
"Bajirao Mastani".
"Anything about dance always excites me, so I
am very, very excited to see Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone's
'lavani' dance in 'Bajirao Mastani'," Madhuri said here on Thursday
during the announcement of Mumbai's first ever Contemporary Dance
Festival, Jugnee.
In "Bajirao Mastani", Priyanka and Deepika will
perform a 'lavani' dance together. It is touted to be a crucial part of
the film's climax.
Madhuri, who is a trained classical dancer
and is also credited to have introduced the folk dance in films, has
earlier teamed up with actresses like Karisma Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan in songs on screen.
Recalling that time, Madhuri, who
also has her online dance academy, said: "I had a competition with
Karisma in 'Dil To Pagal Hai'. It was wonderful. Shiamak (Davar) was the
choreographer for that."
"The dancing was a little more jazz and
contemporary and I was doing that style for the first time. I enjoyed
when we danced. Karisma and I got along very well, so we had a great
time," she added.
Madhuri is all praise for the grandeur with which Bhansali shoots his songs.
Recollecting
the days when she shot "Dola re dola" song with Aishwarya for "Devdas",
Madhuri said: "When I did 'Dola re dola' with Aishwarya, Saroj Khan-ji
had choreographed it and it was terrific. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has
picturised it."
"There were many trolly shots and long shots and after a long time a song was being picturised on that level."
