After the success of Bajirao Mastani, veteran Bollywood director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is now busy shooting for his next signature grandiloquent period drama - Padmavati.

Some interesting details have cropped up about the lead actor Deepika Padukone's Ghoomar dance sequence in the film. The versatile actor had reportedly donned traditional Rajasthani attire for the sequence, and had been working hard to perfect the moves. The shooting for the sequence was wrapped up only recently.

One of the costume designers for the film spoke to BollywoodLife in detail regarding the sequence:

The Ghoomar dance has come out to be really very well. Just recently we have completely the sequence. What Deepika will be wearing is a typical Rajasthani <i>ghoomar</i> and we have taken into consideration the typical colours like the reds and yellows for the outfit. And of course, we have added our own touch to it. We are being very careful with the colours, the fabrics and everything else because people observe everything closely. So even now, we are reading story books, visiting museums and doing our research on the outfits of those times.

Rimple Narula, Costume Designer for Padmavati to <i>BollywoodLife</i>

The film, which is slated for release in November next year, would also be starring Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.

With a high-profile cast, and news about the fancy dance number, we can hardly wait for next November to come!
