Shilpa Rao credits Deepika Padukone for Pathaan track ‘Besharam Rang’; says, “It is addictive because of her”

Speaking about the actress’ act in the song, Shilpa said in a statement, “Deepika is a whole vibe in ‘Besharam Rang’ and the track is addictive because of her! I have sung many songs for Deepika but some have been of romance, some have been of falling in love, some have been of finding your true self, but this one is very different. This one is where she is confident in her own skin, she’s like taking on the world as brilliant as she is and she (her character in the film) is in fact embracing her good and the flaws that she has!”

Exploring the meaning behind Kumaar’s lyrics, Shilpa added, “Deepika is saying that this is what I have to offer to the whole world and I think that is what I love about the song. Many women across the world need to feel really confident in their skin, no matter where we come from. We need to embrace our goodness with the flaws and really celebrate ourselves and that is what I love about ‘Besharam Rang’ and really hope the audiences love it. Have a blast listening to it guys.”

The song has become an instant rage ever since it was released earlier this week. In fact, it has clocked 53 million views in just four days. Apart from Deepika, it features Shah Rukh Khan, who, according to the makers, plays a “gun-toting spy with a license to kill.”

Directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Yash Raj Films, Pathaan will be released in cinemas on January 25.
