Jacqueline Fernandez will dance to the tunes of Madhuri Dixit’s ‘Ek Do Teen’ for this film

Jacqueline Fernandez who had recently recreated the super hit songs of Salman Khan’s ‘Judwaa’ in ‘Judwaa 2’ along with Varun Dhawan and Taapsee Pannu. Now the actress is all set to recreate Madhuri Dixit’s famous number ‘Ek Do Teen’ in ‘Baaghi 2’. She will be working on the song from today and will be shooting for next three days. Ahmed Khan will recreate the song with Saroj Khan’s blessings. Ganesh Acharya will be choreographing the song.


Ahmed Khan said, "There will be three choreographers on the set today, that's a picture perfect moment in itself!" exults Ahmed, adding that the iconic song fits into the script perfectly. "It's an all-time favourite and I have asked Ganesh to retain Sarojji's famous hook steps and Manish Malhotra to keep Madhuri Dixit's pink outfit in mind while designing Jacqueline's costume. I want the same feel of the earlier song that still looms large on everyone's mind and also the same vibe, with the crowds chanting 'Mohini, Mohini' as Madhuri takes the stage.”


Saroj Khan recalls that the crowds were not junior artistes but real people coming by the truckful to the sets every night through the nine-day shoot. She goes on to inform that the song was initially supposed to be shot in the Big Top of the Gemini Circus and they had even gone to check if the tent and stage were big enough for the shoot. But the idea was scrapped when Baba Azmi, the film's DoP, pointed out that there were no rods to hang the lights. A set was built subsequently and lit up by Baba using HMI lamps (The Hydrargyum Medium Arc-Length Iodide globes represent the most advanced concept in modern lighting technology), a novelty at the time.


Saroj Khan said, "It all happened a long time ago, all that I remember is that Madhuri was a trained in Kathak dancer but had problems adapting to Bollywood style latka-jhatkas during her previous film Uttar Dakshin. Being a dancer myself, I choreographed the song in 20 minutes flat, but Madhuri found it difficult to shake her hips the way I wanted. We had intense rehearsals for 17 days before the shoot and Madhuri would diligently practice from 10 am to 10 pm every day. Every day, for those 17 days, she was there and when it was time for Action, Madhuri was Mohini.”


Ahmed Khan said that she is the right choice for the film, "She's the perfect choice.”
