Zeenat Aman, who featured in the orginal song, is upset about the sexual tone of the new version.
Music composer Pritam has received threat calls for remixing the cult number. That’s not all.
Deepika Padukone who displays her raunchiest moves ever, in the video of the song, is making waves. Her Nescafe ad also has her ‘shaking’ away to glory.
And this new image — of an erotic and wicked damsel — has got mixed reactions.
Thumbs up!
Fans of Deepika couldn’t be more excited to see their favourite star in a never-seen-before avatar.
Says DJ Roshan, “I think Deepika is doing an excellent job with the advertisement as well as the Dum Maro Dum Video. I totally love her moves. Those who are criticising her new image are probably jealous that they can’t carry off something like that!”
Adds actress Roopashree, “What Deepika does is none of other people’s business. She is a responsible person and has every right to flaunt her foxy side, if that’s what she wants. Who are people to judge her.”
The actress’s well-sculpted figure has worked to her advantage, with many feeling that the new image is completely justified since she has the body for it.
Says model Apoorva Vishwanathan, “Deepika is tall. She’s slim. There’s very little that can go wrong when she has a figure like that! What’s wrong with showing off a fabulous body? It’s not like she’s over exposing. Who knows! Her new image might even further her career prospects and open doors for new roles.”
Thumbs down!
There have been arguments however, that while there’s nothing wrong in putting a sexy image of yourself out there, how tastefully you do it makes all the difference.
Says beauty professional Swati Gupta, “You associate a certain kind of class with Deepika, owing to the way she portrays herself in her films, chat shows and public appearances. This image goes completely against all that! I have nothing against item numbers. They are good fun. But after seeing the Dum Maro Dum number, you realise that you have higher expectations from a Deepika. If it’s a Mallika Sherawat, you couldn’t care less.”
Others like actor Vishal Hegde feel that Deepi is trying a tad too hard to be sexy. “She is probably getting carried away by the Malaikas and Katrinas of the world. She should realise that she already is sexy and doesn’t need to go to extremes to prove it. I liked her the way she was before, and am not too thrilled with the image change!”
How well this new image works for Deepi baby remains to be seen. Let’s hope it turns out okay.
