With the Youtube buzzing with the sensual rain song sequences of both the films, the jury is still out as to why outperformed whom.
Get ready for the battle of wet saris. Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor wear sheer chiffon with slinky blouses to rouse up the audience for their films.
First, Katrina: Her sizzling Gale Lag Ja number from De Dana Dan has seen a record number of two lakh hits on Youtube since it was uploaded. Kareena's rain dance sequence to the beats of Zoobi Doobi from the upcoming 3 Idiots has logged in a smilar number of two lakh hits on Youtube.
Both actresses seem to have a fetish for shades of orange in chiffon saris. Matching sleeveless blouses, which plunge to ‘see level', complete the wardrobe.
Kareena has always been known for her sexy image, but for the first time Katrina has done a rain song.
Katrina's sizzling number Gale Lag Ja will not be included in De Dana Dan , opening this Friday, right away. The producers plan to use the song only for publicity, and then add it in the film a few days after release, to heighten post-release publicity.
Akshay Kumar too feels the scorching number could dilute the film's intended comic effect.
“It's the quintessential wet song that every actress does at some point,” Katrina says about the song.
Akshay, who shot the song with high fever, said: “ I couldn't believe how romantic Kat and I looked together.” For Kareena, however, rain dance wasn't new. She did one — Bhaage Re Mann — in her 2003 movie, Chameli . But the song didn't revel in the sort of chemistry Kareena shares with costar Aamir Khan in Zoobo Doobi of 3 Idiots . Aamir, for one, is impressed with Kareena in the number.
“We have both worked very hard on this rain song. I hope people like it,” said Aamir.
During the shoot, Katrina's sari reportedly did an astonishing shrinking act since she stayed out in the rain for a long time while shooting the sensuous number. As a result, choreographer Pony Verma and director Priyadarshan went for close- ups because a better part of the actress's legs were visible. On the other hand, Kareena's eye makeup was spoiled due to the artificial rain during the shoot.
Says Akshay : “ I've seen Aamir's rain song. It's beautiful. I think Aamir Khan and Kareena make a really good pair.”
Akshay has a fetish for pretty actresses in wet orange saris. He had shot a similar song, Tip Tip Barsa Pani, in 1994 with Raveena Tandon for Rajiv Rai's blockbuster, Mohra.
