When Salman Khan and AR Murugadoss come together, one can be sure that the emphasis will be on action. Since Sikandar went on floors in June, the actor-director duo has largely focused on filming the action sequences. But now, they are taking a break from on-screen fights and indulging in something more fun. We hear that Khan and leading lady Rashmika Mandanna are currently shooting a vibrant, festive song composed by Pritam.
Earlier this month, mid-day had reported that a set replicating the slums of Dharavi had been built at Goregaon’s SRPF Ground (Slam the baddies in the slum, Sep 3). The same set-up is serving as the backdrop for the dance number. A source reveals, “The song features 200 background dancers, and depicts the slum dwellers celebrating a festival. Rashmika joined the unit on Thursday. In the number, Salman will be seen wearing a customised silver chain, earrings, a black vest and full-sleeved shirt with denims. Rashmika sports a traditional look in a salwar kameez. Murugadoss has nearly wrapped up the song shoot and will move on to some action scenes by the weekend.”
