Beyond the Box Office: A Viral Internet Sensation
While its financial success is staggering, 'Dhurandhar' has also cemented itself as a major cultural talking point online. From Akshaye Khanna's iconic hook step in the 'Fa9LA' track to the infectious energy of the 'Shararat' song, the film's music has taken social media by storm. Adding a delightful, personal twist to this viral wave, the choreographer of 'Shararat', Vijay Ganguly, recently shared a heartwarming video that has left netizens in awe.
Vijay Ganguly, known for chartbusters like 'Aaj Ki Raat' from 'Stree 2' and 'Chaka Chak', and who is also the brother of actress Rupali Ganguly of 'Anupama' fame, posted a clip of his mother grooving to the beats of 'Shararat'. The video instantly became a sensation, flooding with love and comments from celebrities and fans alike.
Celebrity Reactions Pour In
The comment section turned into a virtual celebration. Ayesha Khan, who features in the song with Krystle D'souza, reacted with fire emojis. Actor Sandhya Mridul enthusiastically commented, "WHOAAAAA! Now I see where you get it from.. love love love.. aunty namaste…." Nimrat Kaur's one-word reaction, "Priceless!!!!", perfectly captured the moment.
Singer Akriti Kakar praised, "Ma maaaa hi hoti hai, what a star." Actress Jaswir Kaur wrote, "How lovely ???Rock star Aunty ❤️❤️❤️" while Krystle D'souza herself exclaimed, "How coooooollll ?♥️". The video also garnered likes from Varun Dhawan among many others.
Fans were equally effusive. One user wrote, "Wish I could even do 1% of dance Aunty is doing here," while another simply declared her a "star she is".
Choreographer Clarifies Casting Choice for 'Shararat'
In related news, Vijay Ganguly also found himself addressing recent discussions regarding the casting for the 'Shararat' song sequence. He took to social media to clarify remarks about actress Tamannaah Bhatia. Ganguly explained that Tamannaah Bhatia was never under consideration for the particular scene, attributing it to narrative reasons rather than availability.
He elaborated, stating that her immense star power could have potentially overwhelmed the specific needs of the high-stakes moment within the film. "In Dhurandhar, the music is woven into a high-stakes moment where the tension is key. The makers opted for two performers to keep the focus on the story’s progression. This choice was about protecting the film’s atmosphere and ensuring the narrative remains the hero of the sequence," he wrote.
Thus, as 'Dhurandhar' scales historic box office heights, its impact resonates far beyond ticket windows, creating viral family moments and sparking conversations about artistic choices in filmmaking.
