Why was Tamannaah Bhatia out of Dhurandhar
Tamannaah Bhatia is once again in the news because of Ranveer Singh's film Dhurandhar. It should be noted that Tamannaah was supposed to appear in it, but she was later shown the exit. This was revealed by the film's choreographer, Vijay Ganguly, in an interview. In an interview with Filmy Gyan, Vijay mentioned that several options were discussed for the roles of two girls. He said, 'I had Tamannaah in mind. I even shared her name, but the director didn't want an item song that felt disconnected from the story. He believed that if there was one girl, the focus would shift from the story to her. That's why two girls were cast. If it were Tamannaah, everyone's focus would be on her, and that would spoil the story.' Vijay further explained that the wedding reception scene of Ranveer and Sara Arjun was very special and had more to it than just a dance number. Aditya sir did not want the focus to shift from the story even for a few minutes. That's why he made this decision regarding the song ‘Shararat.’
