Padmavati is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated movies this year. The movie starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor is all set to release on December 1, 2017.
Recently the makers released the first track from the movie 'Ghoomar' which saw Deepika twirling to traditional Rajasthani music and performing the 'Ghoomar' dance.
To get the form correct, Deepika learned the dance form from Ghoomar expert Jyoti D Tommaar, who also runs a Ghoomar school which was founded by Late Padmashree HH Rajmata Geverdan Kumariji of Santrampur (former Princess of Kishangarh, Rajasthan).
Ghoomar is a traditional dance form of Rajput women where they twirl in circles. A source told a leading daily, "It is an extremely difficult performance art that takes years to learn, Deepika had to pick up the steps within a matter of days and she mastered it. Deepika did over 66 twirls while shooting for the song, dressed in an extravagant costume and adorned in heavy jewellery."
Deepika Padukone too commented on it and said, "It has been one of the most difficult song sequences that Sanjay sir and I have shot for. The shooting of the film began with this song and I will never forget that day. I remember approaching my mark for the first shot and suddenly, I felt a chill run through my body. It was almost as if Padmavati’s soul had entered my body. That feeling still lingers and will continue for years to come.”
