Deepika Padukone demands change in costume for the Dum Maaro Dum song

For her item number in Dum Maaro Dum, Deepika Padukone was to wear an Anahita Adajania Shroff outfit a sexy bikini halter-top paired with the shortest skirt she’s ever designed.

Dippy was aware of this and had worked hard to get into shape so she could fit into the ensemble. However, the skirt was too short for her. The actress got it changed to shorts in stead.

A source explains the need for the change, “The skirt Anahita designed barely covered the actress’s derriere yet looked stunning on her.

During trials, DP received several compliments. Director Rohan Sippy had briefed her and she understood that the song needed sexy clothes. The trouble began when she started rehearsing for the song.

The steps were difficult to do because of the skirt’s length.”

Rohan had the option to change the dance steps to make her feel comfortable in the skirt. However, Deepika insisted they keep the choreography and switch from skirt to shorts instead.

Adds the source, “She walked up to Rohan and told him there was no way she could move her legs and do the steps in the skirt.

A consensus was reached and the outfit was changed soon after. The actress ended up wearing shorts and tassels over it to look like a skirt.”

>Deepika’s Turn to Be Item Girl!

Deepika Padukone will be the item number sensation in 2011! At least, that’s what she is aiming for. Deepika will groove to the hit song of Zeenat Aman, ‘Dum Maro Dum’. The year 2010 belonged to Sheila and Munni. If things go her way, 2011 will belong to Deepika. She’s leaving no stone unturned to ensure that her dance number is shot and choreographed by the best team. Her aim is to make it better than ‘Sheila ki Jawani’, a song that continues to rule the roost and get Farah Khan one award after another. In terms of awards, Sheila has beaten Munni quite comprehensively!

The film that Deepika will swing to has the very epitome of sensuality,Bipasha Basu, in the lead. The dance number will be a rehash of the one that made Zeenat Aman a sensation. Deepika wants to look her best and do something that will turn her career on its head. However, it won’t just be Deepika Padukone who will put on her dancing shoes in 2011. Kareena Kapoor will do the same in Shah Rukh Khan’s home production ‘Ra.One’. Her song is titled ‘Chammak Chhallo’. The sensual item song will see the svelte Kareena groove to the beat. As obvious, Shah Rukh is leaving no stone unturned to make his heroine the new buzzword in Bollywood.

Kareena is already the toast of the town, of course! Newcomer Ranveer Singh, who’s grabbing all the debutant male actor awards for ‘Band Baaja Baarat’ is a self-confessed Kareena Kapoor fan. He appeared on Karan’s chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’ and admitted to his undying love for the diva. He didn’t bat an eyelid before going down on his knees to speak about his love for Bebo, despite having lady-love Anushka Sharma on the same couch. Seems like Kareena is a darling that everyone wants to be with!
