Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff are all set for the big War in cinemas on October 2, 2019. The two, who are said to have an action face-off in their upcoming film War, will also be seen in an epic dance number. Director Siddharth Anand recently confirmed the news by stating that people's desire to see the two of the best dancers of Bollywood together in a number created pressure on the team.
Siddharth said, “Since the inception of the film, people were speculating there would be a huge dance anthem featuring two of the best dancers of our country — Hrithik and Tiger. This has been the biggest anticipation that automatically becomes a huge pressure for the people to deliver a cracking song that would become an anthem.”
A big-budget Holi song, Jai Jai Shivshankar will see the duo matching steps. The song is a famous track from 1974 film Aap Ki Kasam featuring Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz. “Firstly, we had to get the track right — one that justifies them dancing on it together. Hrithik and Tiger have had great songs and hit numbers to their credit; since we’re bringing them together for the first time, we have all the more responsibility to deliver a track that becomes a blockbuster instantly,”
Siddharth added, “I told Vishal and Shekhar (composer duo) that this is not just a song but responsibility. I think it’s the blessings of God and Hrithik and Tiger’s fans that we have been able to create a track that’s truly an anthem. You have to hear it to understand it.”
Siddharth also informed that Hrithik and Tiger rehearsed for three weeks to make the song perfect. “This is a Holi song. What got me excited was its lyrics, ‘Jai jai Shivshankar, aaj mood hai bhayankar. When you see this song, you’ll get into a bhayankar mood to dance. You will just freak out and that is the killer part of it.”
