Deepika Padukone said that unlike foreign cinema, music is a quintessential element in Indian cinema. The same holds true for Imtiaz Ali’s upcoming film Tamasha, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Siddharth Roy Kapur.
Last week, the actress took it upon herself to play host to a musical night that was peppered with effortless banter, surprises and a lot of Matargashti (pun intended!). The biggest surprise of the evening was Ranbir Kapoor, joining his Tamasha team on a video call from London. When he finally caught a glimpse of Deepika, he quipped, “Tum pehle bhi itni Khoobsurat thi ya waqt ne kiya koi haseen sitam,” quoting a pick-up line from their last film together. Ranbir sang a few lines from their happy-sad song ‘Heer Toh Badi Sad Hai’.
In picking personal favorites, the team was divided in their opinion. While Deepika and Siddharth chose ‘Agar Tum Saath Ho’, Sajid picked ‘Matargashti’. Ranbir’s favorite number is ‘Wat Wat Wat’ which was released at the event and its peppy beats got the audience hooting. ‘Matargashti’ was the unanimous choice of the crowd present, and Ranbir and Deepika danced to this upbeat number.
