Veteran actress Sarika to do an item song in 'David'

Veteran actress Sarika is surely keeping pace with the times. She may have turned down a role in Bejoy Nambiar’s David that eventually landed in Lara Dutta’s lap. However, she has happily agreed to do an ‘item’ song in the film.
The remix of the old Sufi qawwalli, Dama dam mast kalander, has been shot in black and white to retain the ‘classic’ feel. Nambiar claims it exudes the same old world charm as yesteryear qawwall is like Nato karvan ki talash hai from Barsaat Ki Ek Raat and Nigahen milane ko jee chahta hai from Dil Hi To Hai to name a few.
Nambiar, who’s delighted at the unexpected turn of events, told us, “Not only was Sarika keen to do the song, she even helped us with its choreography. Apparently, there was no professional choreographer on the sets. That’s when Sarika, who loves to dance in real life, stepped in. She helped my assistant director Elizabeth Perreira Pundit and me to choreograph the qawwalli. It finally ended up looking smoking hot.”
