Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar shared on India’s Best Dancer Season 5 how she almost rejected the famous song “Chamma Chamma,” known for its iconic dance moves. Initially hesitant about doing an item song, she revealed how director Raj Kumar Santoshi persuaded her to take on the role.
Matondkar explained that Santoshi convinced her by highlighting the song’s significance in the industry, emphasizing the need to create a better track than the previous iconic dance numbers. Surprisingly, the shooting of the song, which was expected to take twelve days, was completed in just three days.
Karisma Kapoor, a judge on the show, praised Urmila’s performance in the song, recalling its impact when it was released. She commended the song’s quality and Urmila’s exceptional dance skills, acknowledging the lasting impression it had on audiences.
