Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, the most iconic on-screen couple in Indian cinema, have set the internet on fire with their sensational party anthem, "Leke Prabhu Ka Naam" from Tiger 3. Choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant, known for delivering chart-topping hits, discusses the song's success and the magical chemistry between these two megastars.
Choreography Magic by Vaibhavi Merchant
Vaibhavi Merchant, the creative mind behind some of the biggest chartbusters in recent times, was entrusted with choreographing another blockbuster song for Salman and Katrina, following the success of "Swag Se Swagat" in Tiger Zinda Hai. She is ecstatic about the overwhelmingly positive response to "Leke Prabhu Ka Naam" and shares her insights on why it has become an instant hit.
Vaibhavi reveals, “Our intention is always to do justice to the song, especially when it's part of a renowned franchise. Having been a part of 'Ek Tha Tiger,' 'Tiger Zinda Hai,' and now 'Tiger 3,' the bar is set high. We aimed to make it bigger and better, aligning perfectly with the film's theme - the scorching on-screen chemistry between Tiger and Zoya. We wanted to captivate fans and get everyone grooving to the music.”
Unforgettable On-Screen Chemistry
When asked about the secret behind Salman and Katrina's remarkable on-screen chemistry, Vaibhavi explains, “It's their chemistry, camaraderie, and their natural ability to own the frame. Salman's magnetic presence makes him look fantastic from any angle.”
She adds, “As for Katrina, she truly comes to life on camera. Off-screen, she's a down-to-earth person. She'd prefer lounging in her pajamas or comfy attire, but when it comes to her on-screen persona, she pays meticulous attention to every detail, from her accessories to her shoes. When she steps in front of the camera, she transforms into the stunning Katrina Kaif.”
Vaibhavi further emphasizes, “They are comfortable with each other, with me, and most importantly, with the audience. Their good looks and on-screen charisma make them an irresistible pair. Fans not only adore their pairing but also admire their on-screen chemistry, and there is immense respect, love, and appreciation for each other's work.”
