Tabu, Vidya roped in for dance numbers

Even as Vidya Balan completed the shooting of a special song in Santosh Sivan’s Urumi came the news that Tabu is also doing a dance number in the film. The Malayalam film is a period drama set in the 15th century and revolves around the killer of Vasco Da Gama. Prabhudeva and Genelia D’Souza are playing the lead roles.

“Vidya is performing an oracle number which is based on the traditional Mohiniattam dance form. She is a good dancer and was all set to perform the number after four days of rehearsals. But Vidya’s part extends beyond the dance number as she is a character in the film,” said Sivan, adding that well-known South dance director Ulhas has choreographed the sequence.

Sivan said that Tabu was also shooting for a song in the film. “Tabu is doing a number with Prabhudeva and actor Prithviraj that will be shot in an open ground. Ahmed Khan has choreographed this sequence,” said Sivan.

The shooting of Urumi is presently on and the film will release by the end of this year.
