Pathaan: Deepika Padukone Opens up For The First Time on Shooting ‘Besharam Rang’,
Actor Deepika Padukone finally spoke about all the problems she faced while shooting for the Besharam Rang song from her upcoming movie ‘Pathaan‘. The actor appeared in a promotional video shared by YRF and mentioned how she shot the song in freezing cold weather even though it is made to look like a nice, sunny day in the video. “I had to work a lot harder for Besharam Rang. It’s sort of in a way my solo song. The location we were shooting at was really difficult because even though the song looks really summery, bright, and beautiful, it was actually freezing. It was extremely windy. So, we were working in difficult conditions. Making it look like it was beautiful and sunny was the tough part,” she says in the video.
She also spoke about teaming up with Shah Rukh Khan again. Deepika has worked with King Khan in three movies – Happy New Year, Chennai Express, and her debut movie ‘Om Shati Om‘. Talking about her experience this time, she said, “Shah Rukh and I have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to work in some incredible movies starting with Om Shanti Om! I’m collaborating with my favourite co-star Shah Rukh. We have a beautiful relationship and I think the audience always sees that in the movies that we do.”
The actor also spoke about the secret behind their electric chemistry in ‘Pathaan‘. She said, “Well, he and I can both take credit for that. Again he was also on this intense diet and exercise. So, he and I can both take credit for the work we have put individually. But at the end of the day, it is the team that you work with.”
Deepika added, “Whether it is the director (Siddharth Anand) and his vision or it’s the cinematographer (Satchith Paulose) and how he is envisioning lighting us, whether it’s the stylist (Shaleena Nathani) – how she envisions these characters, whether it is your hair and make-up team. So, it’s your entire team that sort of comes together, so sure you can put in the work and do the best you can but you also have incredible world-class professionals who come in and make us look the way we do!”
