Uncomfortable in a mini, Deepika switches to shorts…

Deepika Padukone’s sizzling item number in Dum Maaro Dum is getting hotter and hotter by the day. It seems, DP’s outfit for the song was a sexy bikini halter-top paired with the shortest skirt designed by Anahita Adajania Shroff. News also had it that, Deepika worked really hard to look her best in that outfit. However, after all the hard work, the actress finally decided to wear shorts instead of the sexy skirt, as she thought that the skirt was too short for her.
A source explaining the need for the change says, “The skirt Anahita designed barely covered the actress’s derriere yet looked stunning on her. During trials, DP received several compliments. Director Rohan Sippy had briefed her and she understood that the song needed sexy clothes. The trouble began when she started rehearsing for the song.The steps were difficult to do because of the skirt’s length.”
The director was ready to change the dance steps so as to make DP feel comfortable in the skirt. But Deepika is not a person to give up. She insisted they keep the choreography and switch to shorts instead.
Adds the source, “She walked up to Rohan and told him there was no way she could move her legs and do the steps in the skirt. A consensus was reached and the outfit was changed soon after. The actress ended up wearing shorts and tassels over it to look like a skirt.”
