Music composer Bappi Lahiri, who has composed the sensual song Ooh La La… in The Dirty Picture, admits he didn’t expect to see Vidya Balan in such a raunchy avatar. “Before the song, I don’t think any of her fans could have ever imagined her looking as sexy and glamourous as this,” he says, adding, “The way the film has been picturised is awesome.”
Ask whether he thinks the song has chances of creating the same excitement that Malaika Arora Khan’s Munni Badnaam Hui… (Dabangg, 2010) and Katrina Kaif’s Sheila Ki Jawaani… (Tees Maar Khan, 2010) did and Lahiri retorts, “’Ooh La La… has already become a craze. It will rock the nation.” The music composer, who’s working with director Milan Luthria for the second time, says, “Milan is my lucky director. Earlier, I had sung a song, Bomai Nagaria… for his Taxi Number 9211 (2006), which topped the charts for a long time.”
