Gauhar Khan, a new age Helen
Wednesday February 24 2010
 
MUMBAI - Ekta Kapoor has chosen Gauhar Khan as the new-age Helen to dance on the popular cabaret number Piya tu ab to aaja in her upcoming venture Once Upon A Time in Mumbai.

Based on Mumbai's underworld in the 1970s, the film is being directed by Milan Luthria and stars Ajay Devgn in the lead role.

Raju Khan has been brought to do the choreography for what's touted as the most expensive cabaret ever shot in Bollywood.

Gauhar danced to the beats of Piya tu ab to aaja so hard last week that a shard of shattered glass wounded her leg.

The director and her excited producer intend to unveil their new-age Helen and the prized recreation of the smouldering cabaret number from the 1970s at an elaborate press conference later this month.

Pritam Chakraborty, who has given music to the song, says he refused to do a straight remix of Piya tu...

"I really see no point in doing a straight-off remix specially when it's an R.D. Burman track. That means the original is still fresh in the listeners' mind. Why should I tamper with an evergreen? So what I've done for Milan's cabaret is to incorporate just a bit of RD's Piya to ab to aaja from Caravan and Duniya mein logon ko from Apna Desh. The rest of the song is my original composition," Pritam told IANS.

Ram Kapoor

TV actor Ram Kapoor says he always thought of Rahul Mahajan as a notorious guy, but his perception changed when he met him on the sets of the reality show Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jaayega.

"I met Rahul for the first time on the sets of this show. I knew about him only through articles. So I formed an opinion that maybe he is wild and immature. But all that drastically changed when I met him," said Ram, who is hosting the show.
