Siddharth says, “Every announcement of Pathaan is like revealing a piece of an epic puzzle, in front of the curious eyes of the fans and audiences, leading right up to our release day. We aspire for every asset of Pathaan to be a big talking point mainly because, we fortunately, have the content to create that buzz.”

About his decision to cast John as the villain, Sid says, “John Abraham is THE antagonist, THE villain of Pathaan. And I have always believed in the fact that the villain’s projection should be as big, if not bigger than that of the hero’s. Only when the villain is massive, can the tussle between them be spectacular. And we have an extraordinary battle when SRK takes on John! We wanted to present John in a super slick avatar.”

The director says the first looks are teasing people into the world of Pathaan! He says, “The first looks of SRK, Deepika Padukone and now John, truly represent the zone we want the audiences to view the film in. People have now just got a taste of the world of Pathaan. This truly is just the tip of the iceberg and I can assure you that nothing can prepare you for the action spectacle that is coming your way.”

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika are one of the biggest on-screen pairings in the history of Indian cinema given their epic blockbusters Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, and Happy New Year. Pathaan is set to release on Jan 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu!

Rajit Dev talks about choreographing Allu Arjun for Kpop band Trib-e and Armaan Malik collaboration MemuAagamu

Choreographer Rajit Dev, who is known for songs like ‘Coco’, ‘Bijlee Bijlee’ and ‘Baarish Ki Jaaye’, ‘Pachtaoge’, among others, recently confessed that it was no less than a dream when he got the opportunity to choreograph one of the biggest superstars in the industry currently, Allu Arjun for the song, ‘MemuAagamu’. The number gained a lot of attention as it is a part of coke live music that features Kpop band Trib-e and Armaan Malik.

Speaking about his experience with Allu Arjun, Rajit says,” I’ve worked on a song with Allu sir earlier, but I was an assistant to Vaibhavi Merchant. This is the first time I choreographed him as an independent choreographer. Making Allu Arjun dance to my style is nothing less than a dream to me.” He went on to appreciate the superstar adding, “Allu Arjun sir is such a humble person. Despite the huge stardom, there’s a beautiful heart which is warm and amazing.”

Another milestone which Rajit has crossed now is working with a Kpop band for this song. He shared his experience about working with Trib-e adding, ”I am very proud to say that I’m the first Indian to choreograph a Kpop band. It’s a huge thing. The group of girls (TRIB-E) were so sweet and super professional. They have so much energy, which I have experienced on the set and made my work look great.”

He also went on mention that he faced his own set of challenges when he had to bring together such big names together. “I was under a lot of pressure for coming up with a good hook step. As everyone knows Allu Sir is a fantastic dancer. His swag is simply magical. My thought was I’d make a few options which I feel are good and show it to sir to choose one. He liked everything but then we settled down with one particular style and everyone’s hooked to it,” he mentioned.

“I also wanted to incorporate Indian classical hands for the Kpop group. I knew this would be a great collaboration of Indian and Korean culture coming together,” he concluded. The song has released now and the choreographer asserted that he received a lot of appreciation for his work.

For the uninitiated, the music video of ‘MemuAagamu’ is directed by Collin D’Cunha and it was shot in mid of July in Bangkok.
