Richa Chadha discusses dancing to Sakal Ban in Heeramandi
In the much anticipated “Heeramandi” series by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Richa Chadha is set to steal the show. Chadha and Bhansali, who previously worked together on the 2013 hit film “Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram Leela,” have reunited for this project. In ‘Heeramandi,’ Chadha eschews her customary demeanor of assertive, bold characters to play Lajjo, a lady battling heartache and hopelessness.Entering the world of the courtesans, Chadha plays Lajjo, a character who is characterized as “utterly hopeless and desperately in love.”
She provides an insight into her collaboration with the acclaimed filmmaker and the captivating persona she embodies in an interview with Hindustan Times. Even a glimpse of the renowned actress Rekha’s response to Chadha’s performance is shown!
She was explicitly questioned about “Sakal Ban,” and the conversation centered on how fun it was to see her dance to that song. It served as Lajjo, her character’s entrance song. Her persona reappears and joins in after seeing the festivities. At first, none of them intended to dance during the song shoot, but Bhansali is known for his spontaneity. The atmosphere and the flowering of youth were the main themes of the simple choreography.
She had received kathak training, but she had never had the opportunity to perform in a movie. It’s funny since it’s surprising to see Bholi Punjaban start dancing. She is certain that dancing enhances performance and imparts greater rhythmic knowledge even while speaking in public. She said she had a good time with this experience and that she would want to take advantage of more possibilities like this in the future.
The highly anticipated historical drama series “Heeramandi,” helmed by the esteemed Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is set to release soon. The plot, which takes place in British-ruled India, centers on the cunning Mallikajaan, who rules over a posh brothel called a “heeramandi.” But a fresh opponent threatens her hegemony, inciting discontent and conflict inside the organization.
