For her item number in Dum Maaro Dum, Deepika Padukone was to wear an Anahita Adajania Shroff outfit a sexy bikini halter-top paired with the shortest skirt she's ever designed.
Barely Covered Bottom
The skirt Anahita designed barely covered the actress's derriere yet looked stunning on her.
Deepik Shapes Up
Deepika was aware of this and had worked hard to get into shape so she could fit into the ensemble. However, the skirt was too short for her. The actress got it changed to shorts in stead.
Sexy Clothes' Song
Director Rohan Sippy had briefed her and she understood that the song needed sexy clothes. The trouble began when she started rehearsing for the song.The steps were difficult to do because of the skirt's length.
Switch Skirt, Not Steps
Rohan had the option to change the dance steps to make her feel comfortable in the skirt. However, Deepika insisted they keep the choreography and switch from skirt to shorts instead.
Shorts With Tassles
After some consultation, the outfit was changed and the actress ended up wearing shorts and tassels over it to look like a skirt.
