Krystle D’Souza recounted stepping into the much-talked-about song Shararat from the film Dhurandhar, following reports suggesting she replaced Tamannaah Bhatia in the number.
In her candid conversation with the media Krystle stressed that it was all about destiny, saying, “What’s meant to be, will be.” While she had no clarity on what transpired backstage, she was generous in her praise for Tamannaah, calling her as an “amazing” performer and a beautiful artist.
In the midst of addressing reports that Tamannaah was rejected for the song, the actress said she had no idea about the internal decision-making process but firmly brushed off any negative narrative around it.
Adding she had no idea about all this, but she meant, she’s amazing, she’s beautiful, and she’s so good at what she does. More power to her.
.You are well aware know-what’s written in someone’s destiny, they receive. She felt like this was meant for her as it was meant for Ayesha, and they got it. But that doesn’t take away from how beautiful Tamannaah is or what a great performer.
She further added that Tamannaah would have brought her own spark to the number. “Maybe she would have added her own magic to the song. She brings her own aura and her own limelight, and I think that’s wonderful. She feels proud of every woman who is doing so well and I’d love to see more women deliver amazing, crazy performances and support one another.”
According to choreographer Vijay Ganguly had recently revealed in an interview that Tamannaah Bhatia was initially considered for the song but the idea was not approved by director Aditya Dhar. After his statement went viral, he issued a clarification on Instagram Stories, stating that the Baahubali actress was never actually in contention for the number.
Clarifying the issue Tamannaah Bhatia was never under consideration because her star power is so significant it might have overwhelmed the specific needs of this scene. In Dhurandhar, the music is woven into a high-stakes moment where the tension is key. The makers opted for two performers to keep the focus on the story’s progression. This choice was about protecting the film’s atmosphere and ensuring the narrative remains the hero of the sequence.
Ganguly also addressed how his words were misconstrued. He genuinely enjoyed the conversations around cinema and the many layers that go into making a film. That said, I have often refrained from putting myself out there because, at times, words get selectively lifted, misquoted or sensationalised to serve headlines rather than the craft.”
He concluded by saying, “It’s unfortunate that instead of the conversation staying on the song and the creative intent behind Shararat, the focus has shifted to comparisons between two wonderful artists, with strong and reductive terms like ‘rejections’ being used-something that was never the spirit of what was shared. Cinema is collaborative. It thrives on respect, nuance and context. I hope we can keep the spotlight where it belongs-on the work and the many people who pour their hearts into it.”
Krystle D’Souza and Ayesha Khan eventually featured in Shararat, the foot-tapping track from Dhurandhar sung by Jasmine Sandlas and Madhubanti Bagchi.
