The teaser poster of Madhuri Dixit's item number in the Ranbir Kapoor- Deepika Padukone starrer Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani ( YJHD) is out, and the diva is in no mood to reveal her look in the song.
The poster released by T- Series, who also uploaded the song on their official YouTube channel on Thursday, has Madhuri with her back to the camera. The number titled Ghagra promises to be a desi number in tune with what has been working at the box- office lately.
In the picture, Madhuri dons a ghagra with shiny shades of orange and pink, teaming it up with a black tasselled choli . However, she is expected to have multiple change of costumes in the song.
The music of YJHD has been composed by Pritam while Rekha Bhardwaj is Madhuri's voice in the song. She is accompanied by Vishal Dadlani who will be voicing the portions of Ranbir Kapoor, who is also part of the song.
This five- minute song starts off with a note introducing Madhuri as Mohini from Agra. The idea harks back to Madhuri's hit dance number Ek do teen in Tezaab , the song that shot her to superstardom.
Like all songs in YJHD, Ghagra too has quirky lyrics with a mix of English and Hindi words - a formula that seems to be clicking for item numbers these days.
Choreographer Farah Khan has taken time off from her hectic schedule as a filmmaker to return to her original calling and style a few moves exclusively for Madhuri.
The number was wrapped up a week ago and the promos may hit the small screen in a couple of weeks, just in time to maximise the marketing overdrive for the film before its release on May 31.
Madhuri has called this item number a "dhamaal song" though the film's director Ayan Mukerji and his creative team define it as an ethereal song based on folk balladry.
