Nora Fatehi recalls protesting against wearing tiny blouse in Dilbar song from Satyameva Jayate; ‘We are all inherently s*xy, but…’

Nora Fatehi is a performer and dancer who grabbed eyeballs with her special appearances in movies. In the 2018 action movie Satyameva Jayate, she made the audience go gaga with her impressive moves in the song Dilbar. While the viewers were highly impressed with her dancing skills, the actress was a little taken aback by watching the size of the blouse that was made by the team for her. Hence, she raised her voice against it and got it changed.

At the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, Nora Fatehi recalled how she protested against wearing the tiny outfit in the trending song Dilbar. During the event, she said that the production team of Satyameva Jayate had to make a new blouse because the one they brought for her was too tiny, and she had to put her foot down.

According to The Indian Express, she told the team that she could not wear that. “Don’t over-sexualise me. I get it, it is a s*xy song. We are all inherently s*xy, but we don’t need to get vulgar about it,” she told the makers of the action-thriller adding that it was also Ramadan. Further on, the actress revealed the director of the movie Milap Zaveri makes fun of her for this at several parties.

Recalling what happened when she said ‘no’ to wearing the clothing initially made for her, the Street Dancer 3D actress divulged that they had to reconstruct the whole blouse. While she didn’t mind showing the stomach because of the song’s aesthetics, she couldn’t show too much cleavage. The publication quoted her saying, “To a lot of people it looks over s*xy, but for me, it was something I was comfortable wearing compared to what they were going to give me.”

While this seems like a powerful move, Nora also stated that it’s tough because, at that time, she was a ‘nobody’. Hence, filmmakers can be like ‘Who the hell do you think you are?’ This is why she has to explain her perspective with love. Luckily, when she spoke to Milap about it and stated that they should not ruin the music and choreography of the track because of a blouse, the filmmaker agreed and they went ahead with it.

Salman Khan’s Veer director Anil Sharma says film failed because of its problematic climax; ‘Last ke 15-20 minute picture ke…’

Salman Khan often mentioned that he wanted to be a writer and wrote lyrics and story for some of his films. One such film written by Salman Khan was Anil Sharma’s 2010 release Veer, which eventually failed at the box office. Recently, the filmmaker revealed that he felt the film’s problematic climax was a significant reason for its failure. 

When it was announced that Gadar director Anil Sharma would direct a film with Salman, the fans were excited to see the duo’s work. But they were left disappointed. In a new interview with The Lallantop, Anil was asked about the reason for the film’s failure, and he mentioned that the film’s climax contributed to it. 

Sharma said he made the film with a lot of effort, and he feels that it’s the actor’s best film to date. However, he thought that the film’s climax about conflict between the father and the son didn’t work. 

The filmmaker revealed that the climax was based on the original script of the film and said, “Woh baap aur bete kyu lad rahe hai, mujhe hamesha se hi lagta tha, woh Salman sahab ka apna subject tha kahani thi woh chahte father and son lade.” (I used to wonder why the father and son were fighting, but the story was written by Salman Khan, who wanted the fight to take place.) 

Anil recounted his conversation with Tiger 3 actor’s father, Salim Khan, who agreed and mentioned there can’t be a conflict between the father and the son. Still, eventually, the Gadar 2 director worked hard to give a reference from Ramayana to make the climax seem logical, but he couldn’t convince himself.

Moreover, the Suhaag filmmaker revealed that they had come up with the story for another climax for the film. But, they went with the original climax and he feels that the film could have performed between without it.

He said, “Last ke.15 20 minute picture ke bohot which gaye the, woh hi ek reason ban gaya.” (In the end, the film got stretched for 15 to 20 minutes, and it became a reason for the film’s average performance at the box office.

Veer, released in 2010, starred Salman Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Jackie Shroff, Zareen Khan, and Sohail Khan in significant roles.
