Thanks to the Beat pe Booty song, fans are getting to drool over their favourite star’s bootylicious grooves. Though the movie sank without a trace at the box office, the song became a rage and continues to be. From Prabhu Deva to Hrithik, Disha Patani to Kriti Sanon – stars decorated their social media accounts with their videos. Even the notorious KRK participated in the challenge and grabbed the attention, which he always does. Meher Malik, the renowned belly dancer owned the song with her breathtking moves.
We speak to the choreographers of the song, Rahul Shetty and Paul Marshal, who have done 28 reality shows together. They say they got a call from Remo D Souza asking them to meet him. “He made us hear the song and explained us clearly on what how he wants. He wanted to show Tiger in a different way, at the same time, he wanted us to come up to moves that would be catchy and also easy for public to adopt and dance away. Within two days, these steps were finalised. Remo sir loved it. It was like our god loving our prashad,” they laugh.
These Govinda-inspired dancers were overjoyed when they saw their dance Gods Prabhu Deva, Ganesh Acharya and Ahmed Khan take up the challenge. Rahul, who taught Hrithik and KRK says, “I got a call from Ekta Kapoor saying I am supposed to teach KRK and make him do the video. I met him but he was shying away from doing. I requested him and taught him. He learnt and agreed to do. He is a funny person.”
“I am already working with Hrithik now. It was a surprise to me when I was asked to teach Hrithik and even Jacqueline dropped by. Hrithik was too quick. He learnt the steps in less than 10 minutes,” Rahul shares.
Though social media is going gaga over the Bollywood stars’ Beat pe Booty challenge videos, it’s Meher Malik and Nana Patekar spoof that has won our hearts.
