The highly anticipated Bollywood sequel, 'De De Pyaar De 2', has delivered a special treat for audiences: a memorable on-screen collaboration between veteran dancer-actor Jaaved Jaaferi and his son, Meezaan Jafri. This marks a significant moment as Meezaan shares both screen space and a dance number with his iconic father, creating a bridge between two generations of performers.
A Dream Come True for Meezaan
In an exclusive interview on BookMyShow's YouTube channel, Meezaan Jafri could not contain his excitement about working with his father. He expressed that it was a unique opportunity to not only act alongside Jaaved Jaaferi but also to dance with him, an art form his father is celebrated for. Meezaan specifically highlighted the performance of the song '3 Shaukk' as an incredibly memorable experience.
The excitement, however, came with a dose of paternal anxiety. Co-star Ajay Devgn disclosed a behind-the-scenes secret, revealing that Jaaved Jaaferi was surprisingly conscious about performing with his son. "His father was more conscious. He kept asking if Meezaan is doing better than him, and when we said 'yes', then he was happy also, but he was also getting stressed," Devgn shared. Jaaved was even heard saying, "this is not my style of dancing," showcasing his nerves. Rakul Preet Singh added her observations, noting Jaaved's initial reluctance to rehearse extensively.
The Viral Father-Son Dance Moment
A behind-the-scenes (BTS) video from the song's preparation recently took the internet by storm. The clip captured the magical moment when Jaaved and Meezaan practiced their steps together, earning enthusiastic applause from the crew on set. The video beautifully contrasted Meezaan's youthful, radiant energy with Jaaved's seasoned and elegant execution of every dance move, a testament to his legendary status.
This viral moment served as a powerful introduction, bringing the iconic dance trio of Jaaved Jafri, Naved Jafri, and Ravi Behl from the Boogie Woogie era to a brand new generation of fans. It successfully rekindled fond memories of Jaaved's iconic dance days while showcasing a fresh talent in his son.
Release and Star-Studded Cast
Fans won't have to wait long to witness this special collaboration on the big screen. 'De De Pyaar De 2' is scheduled for a theatrical release on November 14. The sequel continues the story from the original film and features a powerful ensemble cast. The movie stars Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh in lead roles, with significant parts played by R. Madhavan, Meezaan Jafri, and Jaaved Jaaferi.
This father-son duo has undoubtedly added a layer of warmth and nostalgia to the film, making it one of the most awaited releases of the season.
