Deepika Padukone, Sanjay Bhansali release ‘Ghoomar’ song from ‘Padmavati’

Deepika Padukone calls the choreography of Ghoomar, the recently released song from the film Padmavati, her most difficult yet.

The announcement comes as film director Sanjay Leela Bhansali dedicates the track to the “brave Rajput women”.

In the video, which released on Wednesday, Padukone is seen twirling with fire lamps while dressed in a heavy traditional costume. The actress tweeted: “The Ghoomar song has to be one of the most difficult yet most fulfilling song sequences I have ever shot for.”

Ghoomar is a folk dance form that involves twirling in circles, with coordinated hand movements and footwork.

Talking about the song, Bhansali said: “We wanted the Ghoomar to retain its purity since this was being performed by Rani (Queen) Padmavati. Every step and every move in the dance form celebrates the royal grace of royalty. This is our dance tribute to the brave Rajput women of Rajasthan.”

Renowned accomplished Ghoomar dancer Jyothi D. Tommaar choreographed the track. Padukone spent 12 days rehearsing and four days actually performing it on camera.

About 60 chorus dancers, all trained Ghoomar exponents, performed alongside the actress. The song has been composed by Bhansali and sung by Shreya Ghoshal.

Padmavati also stars Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh will release on December 1 in India.
