Vaibhavi Merchant who is one of the most established choreographers in the industry recently opened up about the different work ethics of Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif on the sets of the film.
Vaibhavi collaborated with Deepika Padukone for the first time for 'Pathaan' song “Besharam Rang” and often worked with Katrina, whom she described as a straight-A student.
Vaibhavi revealed to Zoom that Deepika isn’t laidback on set, but she’s very ‘easy’ to work with. She added that it was the first time that she was working with her, so she was also discovering her process.
Vaibhavi further added that she has done so much work with Katrina. She revealed that she is all about that energy, being together, coming alive. She will want everybody to be there, she will want her assistants to be there, her costume people, she’ll call everybody; hair, makeup, costume.
Describing Katrina as an ‘A+ student,' Vaibhavi added that Katrina works to the point where you have to tell her, ‘Bas kar abhi Katrina, hogaya ab. (I can’t see you dance anymore). Bas karle meri maa, ghar jaa aur humein bhi jaane de (Stop, Katrina, go home and let us go home as well.)'
Deepika, on the other hand, came with her own close confidantes, Vaibhavi added. She revealed that Deepika had a very chilled-out, silent, calm (approach). She and her costume designer Shaleena (Nathani), have her own set of people who do her hair, makeup. She’s silently doing her bit. Vaibhavi expressed that she was very amused to work with her. She was pleasantly surprised that her process was of ease. It’s very similar to Salman, she revealed.
