Actress Deepika Padukone stars as the new-age Mohini in the teaser for the song Lovely from Happy New Year - but Madhuri Dixit's Ek Do Teen crown is safe.
The setting is much the same as the Tezaab number that propelled Madhuri to superstardom - Deepika writhes on a stage, cheered lustily by a wolf-whistling crowd of men chanting her name, "Mohini, Mohini, Mohini, Mohini." You almost expect the song - sung by Kanika Kapoor - to begin with 'ring rong ring" but it doesn't.
Deepika, clad in a brief two-piece costume, is not alone on stage. Identikit dancers, wearing similar costumes that flash a lot of flesh, surround her striking suggestive poses.
The teaser of Lovely was unveiled at the music launch of Happy New Year in Mumbai yesterday.
Deepika Padukone, currently the centre of a storm concerning a photo of her cleavage carried in a leading daily, co-stars with Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani, Sonu Sood and Vivaan Shah as a bunch of 'losers' in the Farah Khan-directed heist film.
Happy New Year releases this Diwali.
