Deepika Padukone agreed to do item dance for Sushant Singh Rajput's 'Raabta', and it's not for money

Deepika Padukone featured in an item dance in late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's film, Raabta. But why?

Raabta starring Kriti Sanon and Sushant Singh Rajput, couldn't do well in the box-office, but the 'title-track' featuring Deepika Padukone went viral.

Deepika Padukone generally does not appear in movies as guest item dancers. But this time she couldn't say no, and it's not about the money.

Raabta is directed by Dinesh Vijan, and he has been a great friend to Deepika. They have even worked together in Love Aaj Kal and Cocktail. So, when the director himself asked the actress, she couldn't turn it down.

Deepika took 3 consecutive flights and travelled for 22 hours to reach the destination for the shoot. She rehearsed overnight and gave a stellar performance. The song became viral the minute it got released.

Cut to present, DP is too busy with her shoot schedules. She was shooting for Shakun Batra's next untitled film with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday. Apart from that, she has many more movies lined up on her list.
