Mumbai : Producer Aditya Chopra and director Siddharth Anand on Monday unveiled the first song of Pathaan, Besharam Rang, which broke the internet.

The song has been trending worldwide ever since it's release and fans and audiences have gone berserk complimenting how lead actors Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone are looking in the song and how hot the choreography is because the verdict is unanimous - Deepika has looked her hottest best in Besharam Rang.

Ace choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant, who is known to present the hottest versions of leading ladies on screen - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Kajra Re from Bunty Aur Babli, Katrina Kaif in Kamli from Dhoom: 3 to the scintillating Deepika Padukone in Besharam Rang, etc is over the moon with the response to the song.

She said, "In my body of work, I have probably consciously made an effort to ensure that the female leads are always presented very aesthetically. For instance, with Ash (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) in Kajra Re, I made it a point to kind of enhance the expressions in the way she did her adaakari. In Kamli with Katrina again, I kept in my mind what Katrina would look great doing."

"One must always study the actor you're choreographing for because it doesn't matter if the movement looks great on me or my assistants, but it must look fantastic on the actor...,'" said Vaibhavi.

Vaibhavi further says, "Strangely, I’ve never been able to choreograph something for Deepika until Besharam Rang. So, this is my first song with Deepika and I knew I had to do something really special for this one."

Vaibhavi says she went all out in making Deepika look the hottest heroine that India has ever seen on screen.

She says, "I wanted to go all out to present her in a way that she has never been presented before. I must give it to Shaleena Nathani for the costumes. Deepika has a great rapport with her and I was pleasantly surprised to see her being so comfortable in her own skin. She owns the song and she is looking gorgeous in every frame."

Vaibhavi adds, "Deepika put in a lot of hard work to look the way she is looking in Besharam Rang. She had an entire crew - dietitian, her physical trainer and the stunning costumes by Shaleena. I was mighty impressed with the way she just approached all the costumes she's like, yeah, she's cool to wear this, she's cool to wear that.

"So, I think that really triggered a certain style in which this song should be shot. Because I was like, I can't make her wear those costumes and make her do steps in a way that we usually shoot songs."

The song features a sizzling Deepika with SRK.

Both are looking their hottest and fittest best as Deepika flaunts her hot bod in bikinis and SRK - a perfectly chiselled eight pack.

Besharam Rang was shot in Spain's most gorgeous coastal towns Mallorca, Cadiz and Jerez.

On SRK and Deepika's "hot" looks in the song, director Siddharth Anand said, "Yes, it is true that the first song of our film is releasing on Monday. It’s called Besharam Rang and it will present two of the biggest superstars of our generation Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in their hottest avatar yet.”

"For us, this one is the party anthem of the season that people have been waiting for and I’m confident that it will stay a party anthem for many, many years to come. So, I want to tell the fans and audience to patiently wait for the song when it releases on Monday morning! The wait for this one will be worth every second from now," he added.

Shah Rukh and Deepika collaborated for the fourth time as an on-screen pair with Pathaan. The earlier three films were Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express and Happy New Year.

The visually spectacular Yash Raj Films' action extravaganza, Pathaan, is part of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious spy universe and also stars John Abraham in the lead.

The adrenaline pumping, visually extravagant film is set to release on Jan 25, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
