In a first, Arjun Kapoor is set to collaborate with choreographer–director Farah Khan for the racy dance number “Chumma” in Vikramaditya Motwane’s vigilante-drama, Bhavesh Joshi. The film features his cousin and Anil Kapoor’s son, Harshvardhan, in the title role after the latter’s 2016 debut in Rakesh Omprakash Mehra’s period romance, Mirzya.

“It was Anil’s idea to bring Arjun on board at the last minute for a special dance number. He personally requested his nephew, who dotes on his chachu and immediately obliged. Arjun will be seen dancing with a bevy of models and dancers in the lavishly mounted song which will be filmed over two days in Mumbai. Harsh too will appear in the song but won’t be dancing and his face will be concealed under the mask his character sports,” a source close to the development told Mirror.

“Chumma” has been composed by Amit Trivedi and is along the lines of massy chartbusters like Delhi Belly’s “I Hate You, Like I Love You” and Dabangg 2’s “Fevicol Se”. Since Arjun had to leave for the international schedule of Vipul Shah’s love story, Namastey England, the Bhavesh Joshi team immediately jumped into rehearsals, and the song will be shot this week. Meanwhile, Harsh’s sister, Sonam, is getting ready to tie the knot with beau Anand Ahuja, and Arjun has taken two days off from his hectic schedule to not just shoot this song but also be a part of the prep for his actress-cousin’s big day.
