Bollywood choreographer Bosco Martis recently shared insights into some of the challenges and interesting anecdotes behind the making of iconic Bollywood songs. In a recent interview, he revealed that Hrithik Roshan endured "extreme pain" while filming the song "Senorita" from the movie "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara". Martis also recounted how the shoot for the song "Kala Chashma" from the film "Baar Baar Dekho" was temporarily halted due to Katrina Kaif's outfit change.
Speaking about "Senorita," Martis did not elaborate on the specific nature of Hrithik's pain but highlighted the actor's commitment to delivering a high-energy performance despite the discomfort. "Senorita," a popular track from the 2011 film "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara," features Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, and Abhay Deol. The song is sung by Farhan Akhtar, Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol and Maria Del Mar Fernandez and its music was composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.
Regarding "Kala Chashma," Martis explained that the song's choreography, which featured a lot of footwork, led to a significant costume change for Katrina Kaif. Initially, Katrina was to wear a lehenga, but the choreographers felt it was not showcasing the footwork well enough. As Martis stated, "It's really funny that you ask about 'Kala Chashma' because Katrina was wearing a lehenga in the song, and the moves we had designed had a lot of footwork in them".
The team waited almost half a shift for Katrina's custom saree designed by Manish Malhotra. Martis added, "On the first day, she wore the lehenga, but on the second day we had to wait for 5 hours because she was wearing this custom saree designed by Manish Malhotra". The change to a saree allowed for better visibility of Katrina's legs and footwork, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the song. Martis considered the delay worthwhile, given the song's subsequent success. The choreographer mentioned, "That outfit really shone through, because you could see the legs move and the Indian element of a saree in a new way".
"Kala Chashma," from the 2016 film "Baar Baar Dekho" starring Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif, has become a major hit, garnering over one billion views on YouTube. The song continues to be a popular choice at weddings and parties.
