is going all out to promote
Zare Nach Ki Dikha, which is a
big ticket boys vs. girls dance reality show. As a buildup attempt,
there was an elaborate 2 day music video shoot which will be soon aired
on the channel. Indya went along on the shoot and here's our eyewitness
report:
Discuss here
We arrive
at the beautiful ND studio and are taken the floor where the video is
being shot. Since there are 18 contestants in all, you cannot have them
in a single frame, so a group of boy and girls contestants are banded
together and sequences of the funky music video is shot.
The
first group we see rehearsing includes the sexy firang actress Hazel in a
long red tube dress and the very much in love couple,
Karan Kundra and Kritika Kamra.
The latter had worn a pair of hot pants but keeping up with the
tradition of Indian television she had worn stockings as well. Dancer
Mukti also looked very funky in her short skirt. The entire look of the
video is very cool and hep just like today's modern college kids.
All
the four actors were very diligently practicing their steps. Some of
them were even seen dancing before they were called on the floor. Each
team had been given a choreographer who was trying to make sure that
their students beat the hell out of the others.
Hats off to the
entire team as the shoot was being conducted in the heat of the day. But
nobody was complaining as they know how important promotions are, for
the success of any show. Lots of water was in demand though!
Very
soon even we were tapping our feet as Pritam's number was superb. And
the aggression, the boy and the girls were showing as part of the format
was fun. Mukti, being a staunch woman's libber was particularly hard we
guess, as she had a point to prove. Her guy better watch out! Hazel
was quite easy in her steps and looked really comfortable. Karan and
Kriitka, although not being natural dancers were really working hard and
getting better with each rehearsal.
Then we broke for
lunch, all were quite happy to take a break from the scorching summer
heat. Item queen Rakhi Sawant
called us for a separate chat in her beautiful chalet, offered us tea
and had a nice talk( we will publish that a bit later). Coming to her
part in the music video which was shot yesterday, Rakhi says they made
her perform stunts, "I did them without a body double," proudly states
this item girl. Where you have Rakhi, you need to have ex-boyfriend
Abishekh Awasthy too. Even he performed stunts. According to
Abhishekh, at first he was not very keen about a music video but after
seeing the set up and production values, he changed his mind. When
asked if he was scared to do stunts he said fear was not in his DNA.
After rest and recreation, we returned to the sets where this time Nach
Balliye winner Aamir Ali
showed lots of cleavage along with now on and now off Balliye,
Sanjida
Shiekh . The other actors in this sequence (which was on top of a
truck) were Angad Hansija
and Aditi Gupta.
The last couple to make up this trio was Sushant Singh Rajput and Rashmi
Desai. Sushant was smoking away till the props were ready while Rashmi
was eating and offering cashew nuts all around , baby look after you
weightโฆ..we say!
Soon the reversals started and Sushant was made
to climb up the position above the driver where he and Rashmi started
practicing their moves. The director was a bit cagey and requested the
chorographer to move things in haste as the sun was setting down. The
chemistry between Aamir and Sanjida was beautiful. Angad, who done many
music videos back home in Punjab was also getting into his groove.
Sushant did not appear comfortable and was heard complaining to the EP.
Once the pictures were captured, the director told the actors to chill
saying that they will use the pictures only if they come out very good
so they should not worry.
Within minutes, the very efficient
unit moved their attention to another promo sequences which had a
face-off between Nach Balliye winners Rakhi Sawant and Aamir Ali. It
is a well-known fact that the two don't get along after the former had
complained that she was denied a win in the prestigious Jodi STAR Plus
dance. The competitive spirit between the two was there to be seen and
will surely act as a bench mark for the other contestants to raise the
bar.
All major dance sequences were shot after we left.
The actors apparently really enjoyed the water and dance sequences. Even
we wanted to join them but alas the 8.15 Indrani Express at Karjat
station bellowed us.
