New Delhi:
Jacqueline Fernandez is the new Mohini. The actress has been signed to recreate Madhuri Dixit's iconic Ek Do Teen in upcoming film Baaghi 2. Director Ahmed Khan, who assisted choreographer Saroj Khan in Ek Do Teen said that Jacqueline is the 'perfect' choice to redo Madhuri's song from 1988 film Tezaab. Ganesh Acharya, who was one of the background dancers in the original song, will choreograph the redux version. "I have asked Ganesh to retain Saroj ji's famous hook steps," Ahmed Khan said in a statement. The director has roped in Manish Malhotra to make Jacqueline's outfit, which he wants as close as possible to Madhuri's jazzy pink dress.
"I want the same feel of the earlier song that still looms large on everyone's mind and also the same vibe, with the crowds chanting 'Mohini, Mohini' as Madhuri takes the stage," he said.
