Why was Vaibhavi Merchant scared to work with Prithviraj?
Vaibhavi Merchant choreographed Prithviraj and Rani Mukherjee for the songs from the movie Aiyyaa, which was adapted from the Lagnaachya Vayachi Mulgi story from the Marathi film Gandha. However, since Rani and Vaibhavi Merchant first met Prithviraj, they were worried if he will be able to pull off the dance sequences. As per reports in Hindustan Times, both Vaibhavi and Rani thought that Sukumaran was a very shy and coy person initially and hence will not be able to groove to the dance numbers. However, when the first day of rehearsals came for the song Dreamum WakeUpum, the team saw a completely different side of him on the dance floor.
