Did Aditya Dhar Reject Tamannnaah Bhatia for a Song in 'Dhurandhar?' Choreographer Says 'She Was Never Under Consideration because...'

Director Aditya Dhar avoided an item song in Dhurandhar's wedding sequence, opting for two dancers over Tamannaah Bhatia to maintain focus on the story, Vijay Ganguly said.

  • Recently, Aditya Dhar rejected casting Tamannaah Bhatia in Shararat, the Dhurandhar song, because a single-performer item number would distract from the story.
  • Recently, Vijay Ganguly revealed Tamannaah Bhatia was his first choice for Shararat and shared the casting talks in a chat with Filmygyan, sparking headlines and online chatter.
  • Aditya persuaded Vijay to cast two dancers, resulting in Ayesha Khan and Krystle D'Souza featuring in Shararat during Ranveer Singh's character's wedding celebration.
  • The makers said the two-performer choice aimed to keep focus on Dhurandhar's story rather than a star turn, with Dhurandhar's music and box office performance underscoring this decision.
  • Vijay Ganguly clarified on Instagram that Tamannaah Bhatia was never 'rejected' and urged focus on the film's collaborative creative intent instead of sensational headlines.
