Saroj Khan impressed with Deepika Padukone, ‘Bajirao Mastani’ choreography
The "Pinga" song from the film featuring lead actresses Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra had instantly drawn comparison to Khan's choreographed song "Dola Re" from "Devdas" starring Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai for the same director Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Mumbai, Feb 14 : Veteran choreographer Saroj Khan praised actress Deepika Padukone for her performance in “Bajirao Mastani” and noted that it is important to bring back elements from our culture into dance like the film showcased. “As the trends and period start changing, we should walk along with the public. The public today go to the toilet as soon as an English song starts, like how they used to do it for Indian songs earlier. So it is very important that we bring back our things like you can see in ‘Bajirao..’, that Indian dance can also grip you,” said Khan at an event of a talent hunt show.

The “Pinga” song from the film featuring lead actresses Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra had instantly drawn comparison to Khan’s choreographed song “Dola Re” from “Devdas” starring Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai for the same director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. “In my generation Madhuri brought whatever it was and after that, no one came about. And now, Deepika is very good, she always brings something nice and new, she also dances well.”
Khan had choreographed Kareena Kapoor Khan in “Agent Vinod” song “Dil Mera Muft Ka” and she considers her “superb”. She also feels that the new generation of dancers need to contribute to change the trend in the dance forms. “It’s important that they give good dances in films because we’ve got bored of making contemporary and hip-hop, we should make something different,” she said. Khan has also been working on a Hollywood project.
