Dhurandhar song Fa9la, which stars actor Akshaye Khanna, is emerging as a favourite among the masses for the dance moves and the music. Now, speaking with NDTV, choreographer Vijay Ganguly, who is behind the song, has shared details as to how Akshaye decided to make his character’s entry in the song and that the dance was done in “one take.”

Talking about Akshaye, Vijay said that “once he’s in the middle of a take, he’s completely in his zone.” He added that the actor “doesn’t go to the van, he doesn’t wander around” and is “always in character.” In the Fa9la song sequence, Akshaye’s character Rehman Dakait exits his car, walks into a celebration, then dances and is honoured with a turban.

Vijay said that Akshaye told film director Aditya Dhar that when he would enter the venue, he would dance. “Then the camera rolled, and he did what you see in the video. That was one take. That’s it. It was all impromptu. Everything was last-minute. We honestly never expected it to become this big,” said Vijay.
“I still can’t digest that Fa9la is a hit. It’s literally a scene where he enters, sits, and gets coronated. That piece has gone so viral that I’m getting calls and congratulations constantly. And that was the most effortless thing we did,” he added.
