Deepika getting into shape for utterly sceret item song

By Subhash K Jha

Deepika Padukone is getting into shape to shoot the sizzling Dum maro dum track for Rohan Sippy's film of that title at Yashraj Studios on Tuesday.

The Anand Bakshi-penned song re-written by Jaideep Sahni (who has scripted Yashraj's Chak De and Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year) and re-composed by Pritam Chakraborty will be choreographed by Bosco-Caesar. The song will be shot in utter secrecy.

And now in the film's leading lady Bipasha Basu's absence (she's in Australia shooting for Roland Joffe's Singularity) the song is all set to sizzle with Deepika dazzling on the dance-floor, her second item song. The first was with Shah Rukh Khan in Billu.

This time she go-goes it alone.

Says a source from the crew, “It's rave-party song. Deepika will be seen dancing to Dum maro dum at the party. At the end of the song cop Abhishek Bachchan will raid the rave party. So even he can't be part of the song.”

Adds the source, “Dum maro dum could never have been filmed on Bipasha. Her character cannot be present during the time when the song happens.”

However that's not the impression Bipasha had been given.

The song is being shot in a great rush. Apparently composer Pritam Chakraborty has not even decided on the voice to be used to sing Dum maro dum.

“They're going ahead to shoot the dance with a scratch recording, ” whispers the source. Let's hope Bipasha doesn't raid Deepika's rave party before Abhishek does.
