Ganesh Hegde overwhelmed by the response he got for Tukur Tukur

Ganesh Hegde who is known for his amazing choreography and video direction in songs like ‘Sharrabi’ from Happy New Year, ‘Chamak Challo’ and ‘criminal’ from Ra.One, KBC title track and ‘Korbo ldobo jeetbo’ for KKR and recently a special track from Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer ‘Dilwale’ where he has choreographed and directed the song. Ganesh is getting a lot of appreciation from his friends and fans for the same. 

Ganesh is the first choice for SRK when it comes to shoot special songs, last year as well Ganesh had directed the promotional video song ‘Sharaabi’ for Shah Rukh at the last moment that too in a day for his movie HAPPY NEW YEAR.

According to the sources, SRK required a special and unique approach in the fun song and at such a last minute only SRK felt that only Ganesh could get us such a video. It was the unanimous decision before being called on board and to direct the song which was picturized on the star-studded cast of the movie. Despite he is busy with his movie script, Ganesh prioritized directing this special track for Dilwale. The song was shot in Mumbai just 15 days prior to the premier of the movie. Ganesh Hegde has worked with SRK before but after choreographing the young ones i.e Varun and Kriti, he is highly impressed with their dancing skills. This song is said to top the charts.

Commenting on the same, Ganesh Hegde Says, "There was not much time to rehearse the steps since the promotions have already begun but that wont show in the track. SRK wanted to be a fun track with steps that people can easily imitate. Kajol is a queen in front of camera, especially when it comes to take a closure shot., her face lights up. Varun is a powerhouse of talent and Kriti too can match steps."
