'Leke Prabhu Ka Naam' song: Choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant is thrilled with the overwhelming response to 'Leke Prabhu Ka Naam' and offers insights into why the song has become an instant hit.
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have solidified their place as one of the most beloved on-screen couples in Bollywood history. Their scintillating chemistry and captivating performances have set screens ablaze, and they are back to enthrall their fans with the year's most electrifying party anthem, 'Leke Prabhu Ka Naam' from the highly-anticipated film 'Tiger 3.' The song has taken the internet by storm, and choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant, the creative genius behind numerous chartbusters, shares her excitement about this latest collaboration.
Vaibhavi Merchant, who previously worked with Salman and Katrina on the chart-topping 'Swag Se Swagat' in 'Tiger Zinda Hai' took on the challenge of delivering another blockbuster song. She is thrilled with the overwhelming response to 'Leke Prabhu Ka Naam' and offers insights into why the song has become an instant hit.
In a candid conversation, Vaibhavi reveals, "The intent is always to do justice to the song given. It's a franchise, and I've been a part of 'Ek Tha Tiger,' 'Tiger Zinda Hai,' and now 'Tiger 3,' so the expectation is always to do better. Yes, the intention was to do better, bigger, more in line with the theme of the film - that Tiger is back with Zoya, and this time, they are heating things up onscreen, sizzling – catering to their fans and for everyone to come in and groove with it."
When asked about the magnetic appeal of Salman and Katrina dancing together, Vaibhavi observes, "I think their chemistry, camaraderie, and the ease with which they hold the frame. With Salman, you are already on the upswing because the moment you bring him in front of the camera, half the battle is won because he is so good-looking. He is such a handsome man, and you can shoot him from whichever angle, and he is going to look the best."
She further explains, "With Katrina, of course, she comes alive on camera. Otherwise, she is such a simple girl. She would rather sit in her pajamas or her comfort wear than do all of this, but then she makes the effort. She is very particular about what she is putting out there from her accessories, shoes, and all of that. So when she comes on screen, she is then Katrina Kaif!"
Vaibhavi emphasizes the comfort and mutual respect between the stars, stating, "They are comfortable with me. I am comfortable with them. They are comfortable with each other, and the audiences are comfortable looking at them, and they love looking at them. They love watching them together. They are two very good-looking people. I feel when there are two very good-looking people together, half the battle is won. Their fans adore their pairing and their chemistry together on screen, and there is great respect, love, and adulation for each other’s work and each other as people."
Salman and Katrina reprise their iconic roles as super-agents Tiger and Zoya in Aditya Chopra’s 'Tiger 3.' Their sizzling chemistry is on full display in 'Leke Prabhu Ka Naam' a vibrant dance track composed by Pritam, with lyrics penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
The Hindi version of 'Leke Prabhu Ka Naam' is sung by Arijit Singh and Nikhita Gandhi, while the Tamil and Telugu versions are rendered by Benny Dayal and Anusha Mani.
