Right after its first trailer was released, Karan Johar’s Agneepath had generated so much heat among the public that a bumper initial for the film was a foregone conclusion. If anyone had any doubt that Agneepath would open to bumper houses on January 26 next year, the Chikni Chameli song from the film comes as an absolute reassurance. The song has been picturised by choreographer Ganesh Acharya on Katrina Kaif who has danced so energetically, gracefully and vigorously in the song that it would surprise everyone. No doubt, Katrina had shut up all her adversaries with her superb dancing on the Sheela ki jawani song from Tees Maar Khan but the girl has surpassed herself in this new number.

Karan Johar All Praise For Katrina Kaif’s Chikni Chameli!

Karan Johar and debut-making director Karan Malhotra need not worry about Hrithik Roshan not being able to promote Agneepath because of his severe back problem. For, the crowds are going to throng the cinemas on 26th January 2012 in spite of that! Speaking about the Chikni Chameli song, producer Karan Johar says, “I haven’t seen as hard-working and dedicated an actress like Katrina in my entire career. She rehearsed for the dance for 10 full days in eight-hour shifts daily! The song took nine-and-a-half days to picturise. What Katrina has done to the song is unbelievable. Would anyone have imagined that this girl from London would pull off this desi song like that? She can easily play a very desi girl in a film, after this song. Hats off to Katrina – she is something else altogether!”
