MUMBAI: Actress Krithi Shetty, who is receiving a lot of positive response to her performance in the recently released song 'Abdi Abdi' from the upcoming film Genie, has spoken up on her experience of learning belly dance for the song.
The song also features Kalyani, and showcases both leading ladies in a never-seen-before avatar as they deliver a mesmerizing belly dance performance that's already setting social media ablaze.
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”.
