Choreographer
Vijay
Ganguly
has
cleared
the
air
surrounding
headlines
and
titles
that
state
Tamannaah
Bhatia
was
rejected
for
Shararat
song
from
Dhurandhar.
The
choreographer
took
to
his
social
media
handle
to
reveal
that
the
actress
was
never
under
consideration
for
the
part.
He
stated
that
Tamannaah
carries
a
star
power
so
significant
that
it
might
have
overwhelmed
the
needs
of
the
sequence.
Therefore,
the
makers
opted
for
two
performers
to
let
the
narrative
be
the
hero
of
the
sequence.
He
highlighted
how
words
can
get
sensationalised
to
serve
headlines,
with
terms
like
‘rejections’ being
used.
“I
genuinely
enjoy
conversations
around
cinema
and
the
many
layers
that
go
into
making
a
film.
That
said,
I’ve
often
refrained
from
putting
myself
out
there
because,
at
times,
words
get
selectively
lifted,
misquoted
or
sensationalised
to
serve
headlines
rather
than
the
craft.
It’s
unfortunate
that
instead
of
the
conversation
staying
on
the
song
and
the
creative
intent
behind
Shararat,
the
focus
has
shifted
to
comparisons
between
two
wonderful
artists,
with
strong
and
reductive
terms
like
“rejections”
being
used
–
something
that
was
never
the
spirit
of
what
was
shared,”
he
wrote.
Further,
he
revealed
why
Tamannaah
Bhatia
was
not
under
consideration
for
Shararat
song.
“Cinema
is
collaborative.
It
thrives
on
respect,
nuance
and
context.
I
hope
we
can
keep
the
spotlight
where
it
belongs
–
on
the
work
and
the
many
people
who
pour
their
hearts
into
it.
To
clarify:
Tamannaah
Bhatia
was
never
under
consideration
because
her
star
power
is
so
significant
it
might
have
overwhelmed
the
specific
needs
of
this
scene.
In
Dhurandhar,
the
music
is
woven
into
a
high-stakes
moment
where
the
tension
is
key.
The
makers
opted
for
two
performers
to
keep
the
focus
on
the
story’s
progression.
This
choice
was
about
protecting
the
film’s
atmosphere
and
ensuring
the
narrative
remains
the
hero
of
the
sequence,”
he
stated.
Vijay
Ganguly’s
clarifications
puts
an
end
to
headlines
that
state
Tamannaah
was
‘rejected’
for
the
song.
Instead,
it
emphasises
the
need
to
focus
on
the
intent
of
a
filmmaker
behind
taking
creative
decisions
rather
than
focus
on
misplaced
chatter.
His
words
underscore
a
crucial
aspect
of
filmmaking:
that
casting
decisions
are
driven
by
narrative
balance
and
vision,
not
by
notions
of
acceptance
of
rejections.
