Can you imagine newcomer Deepika Padukone dancing with the heroes of 1970s?
That is what the gorgeous debutant will be seen doing in Farah Khan’s upcoming film Om Shanti Om . In the film, Deepika plays a film star from the 1970s.
The first half of ‘OSO’ is set in 1977. There is a song in this half that shows Deepika shaking a leg with movie stars of the 70s – like Rajesh Khanna , Jitendra and the late Sunil Dutt .
The interesting thing is that these veterans will be shown young in the song with Deepika.
How this blend of the old with the young was managed? Through SFX. We all know that Shah Rukh Khan’s production company Red Chillies Entertainment has topnotch technology and equipment available for SFX.
It can also be recalled that Shirish Kunder , Farah’s husband, had used the same technique to transpose Salman Khan with the stars of 60s and 70s in his film Jaaneman .
‘Om Shanti Om’ is an unusual love story spanning over thirty years. The film has Shah Rukh Khan playing a junior artist and Deepika Padukone playing a big filmstar in 1970s. A part of the movie is set in 2007.
