Just days ago, Deepika Padukone finished gyrating to the iconic number Dum Maro Dum Mit Jaye Gham for Rohan Sippy's forthcoming film Dum Maro Dum, but strictly on her own terms.
Deepika was very excited to fill Zeenat Aman's shoes in the remixed version of the Hare Rama Hare Krishna original.
But the actress was shocked when she heard the lyrics of this changed version. While Pritam has directed the musical score, Jaideep Sahni has written the lyrics of the remixed version.
The new song has some very objectionable language. "The lyrics were full of bold words," says a close friend of Deepika's. Four days before the actual shoot began at Mehboob Studios, Deepika had a long meeting with Rohan Sippy.
She told him in no uncertain terms that she would shoot for the song only if she could omit lip-syncing the objectionable lyrics.
Sippy thought for a while, and told her, 'Come along. We'll work out a way'. A relieved Deepika reached on the sets to learn that Sippy had indeed lived up to his promise.
Revealed the source, "Sippy told Deepika that every time she was expected to mouth the objectionable lyrics, her back would face the camera. Therefore she will only mouth lyrics that she is comfortable with."
When contacted, music composer of the remixed version, Pritam Chakraborty told Mumbai Mirror, "Shooting mein kya hua mujhe nahin pata. But yes, this song will shake you up. It's bold beyond words.
We have composed it keeping today's very young and modern generation in mind. Big deal yaar, today's generation loves it this way."
Deepika remained unavailable for comment but if she has any other reservations about the song, she can safely put it all 'behind' her now.
