Earlier this week Deepika Padukone flew to Chennai to shoot a romantic song with Rajnikanth.
The number, an ultra-romantic love duet, was choreographed by Saroj Khan. And we hear Ms Khan, known to make screen-couples sizzle on screen with their chemistry, had planned some scorching-hot moves between the 2.
But God proposes, Rajnikanth disposes.
Apparently Rajnikanth post his illness has become acutely aware of his age and the age-difference along with his leading lady. Rajnikanth apparently asked his director Soundarya who also happens to be his daughter to . . err, modify and alter the affection scenes.
It took Deepika’s intervention to convince the mega-star to cuddle and get loveydovey for the song.
Says part of the Kochadaiyyan team, “Rajni Sir wanted the romantic movements and gestures to be watered down. But Deepika insisted on allowing them to be. She in reality made sure Rajni Sir was comfortable. ”
When quizzed concerning the romantic song the Kochadaiyyan producer Dr Murli Manohar said, “It’s an excellent romantic song. A duet with classical undertones. It’s not a classical dance number, as wrongly reported within the media.
A R Rahman has outdone himself within the song. It’s a particularly romantic song with classical elements woven into it. Nevertheless it isn’t a classical dance number. ”
