Krithi on shooting Abdi Abdi
Talking about the song, Krithi revealed how she had to juggle between her multiple projects to fit in some studio time to preparations for the dance. She said, "I was super thrilled when I found out about this belly dance situation in the movie because as we know, the Genie is a Middle Eastern concept, a character that we've seen in the Arabian Nights. So belly dance being in the film was so accurate. And that's why it actually leads up to a situation where there's belly dance and I was personally very excited because I love dancing and this gave me a chance to go learn a new dance form”.
She further mentioned, “What I came to discover is that belly dance is such a beautiful and elegant art form but it got a little tricky because I was continuously shooting for three of my Tamil films in Chennai. So the only time I would get to practice was when I would come back home to Mumbai, and get to go to classes physically and learn it. So I would actually end up spending a couple of hours in classes and it took a long time because I had to practice over a couple of months to actually get a few hours in. Regardless, I love learning new things so it was a lot of fun for me personally”.
Kalyani Priyadarshan on the song
Actress Kalyani Priyadarshan, who is now basking in the success of her blockbuster Malayalam film Lokah, says that she had to really work super hard for her dance portions in the track Abdi Abdi from director Arjunan Jr's upcoming Tamil fantasy entertainer Genie.
Taking to her X timeline to register the amount of effort she had put in for the dance number, ahead of its release, Kalyani wrote, "As an actor, I always try to push and challenge myself to do things I’ve never done before. This song was one of those moments."
She went on to say, "When our director Bhuvanesh told me about it, I was amazed at how nicely he made such a commercial musical piece into a real and important part of Genie’s story. I can’t wait for you all to see it in the film - the reasons behind it are so powerful! Worked super hard and tried something new, and I really hope you all like it."
