Aryan Khan's highly anticipated directorial debut, The Ba***Ds Of Bollywood, is still talking with its gritty storytelling and explosive expose.
Though the nail-biting finale of the series shocked the audience, one scene in particular has been sending fans wondering, the remake of the cult 1997 number, Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela.
In the last scene, Mona Singh's character Neeta Singh is seen dancing with Bobby Deol in the classic number. While everyone thought Mona had actually appeared in the original, the reality behind the sequence unveiled Aryan's smart cinematic trickery.
The producers kept the original track but digitally substituted one of the dancers with Mona Singh with top-grade VFX.
This left Bollywood fans wondering one thing: who was the original dance artist behind Mona's remade role?
The answer is none other than Bhanu Khan, screen queen as a background dancer in a few cult Bollywood tracks of the 90s.
Famous for her luscious dance steps and unparalleled presence on screen, Bhanu made waves in a string of hit songs at the time, and Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela remains one of her standout performances.
Aryan Khan's innovative choice not only added a retro flavor to the song but also highlighted Bollywood background dancers, the live performing artists who are generally underestimated yet perform an essential role in adding magic to old songs.
Although Mona Singh's inclusion of VFX left the audience amazed, it also initiated a discussion about underrated performers like Bhanu Khan, whose career continues to thrive through such immortal music videos.
WithThe Ba***Ds Of Bollywood setting records and making waves, this little but significant detail has again brought Aryan Khan's talent for storytelling combining nostalgia and insight into the forgotten faces of Bollywood to the limelight.
