Actress Taapsee Pannu, who stars in Anubhav Sinha's Mulk, has also choreographed a dance number, titledThenge Se, in the film, reports news agency IANS. The director said that since the song is positioned mid-way in the film highlights the festivities and that it was not meant to look like a 'professionally choreographed' sequence. "Since Mulk doesn't have the quintessential Bollywood song and dance facet, my focus was never to rope in a mainstream choreographer for the two songs in the film," Anubhav Sinha said in a statement. "While I decided to single handedly direct both the songs, Taapsee expressed her interest in lending a helping hand," he added.
"Since the song was not meant to look like a professionally choreographed song, I wanted a fresh perspective and Taapsee did wonders. I am quite impressed with her directorial eye and someday if she ever wishes to foray into direction she will do well for herself," he explained.
