Urmila Matondkar: Urmila Matondkar did the film ‘Rangeela’ in 1995. In this he was accompanied by Jackie Shroff and Aamir Khan. The film became a huge hit, as well as its songs were also well-liked. This film took Urmila’s career to the heights and she came to be called ‘Rangeela Girl’. Recently Urmila reached a show and shared an anecdote from the old days. He told that in the hit song ‘Tanha-Tanha’ of the film, he danced wearing Jackie Shroff’s ganji.
Actually Urmila reached ‘Zee Comedy Show’ as a guest. She revealed that in the song ‘Tanha-Tanha’ where she runs on the seashore. At that time he was wearing Jackie Shroff’s ganji.
Urmila was hesitant at first
Urmila said that ‘no one knows but I was wearing Jackie Shroff’s ganji in the song “Tanha-Tanha” from “Rangeela” and to be honest it was quite funny. The sequence had to be very unique and refreshing and we were told that there is no need to do things after thinking and researching. We had to look natural. When we were being told about our costumes, Jackie Shroff asks me to wear my ganji. I was a little hesitant, but then I moved on and then left everything in the hands of God. I was appreciated and got lots of love. That’s how I finished it well.’
Farah Khan’s reaction
Hearing this anecdote of Urmila, everyone including the judge of the show Farah Khan is shocked. Farah says, ‘I really didn’t know this but I want to say that Urmila was looking really hot and it became an iconic scene. Shooting in Jackie’s Ganji was very sporting for him. ‘
Jackie turns costume designer
Speaking to Film Campion last year, Ram Gopal Varma had revealed that the costumes that were made earlier had been rejected. He says that ‘I said on the location, I want something different. What she was wearing didn’t look right. Then Jackie Shroff says “Hey mera t-shirt pahan na bidu.” He gives his t-shirt to Urmila. Thus, the credit for the costume goes to Jackie Shroff.
