Shahid Kapoor reveals how Dhan Te Nan helped him understand his role in Kaminey

Among the many mesmerising performances on Indian Idol 14, it was Anjana Padmanabhan, who shone bright and once again impressed everyone by singing Gulaboo, Thunkeshwari, and Dhan Te Nan from the movies Shaandar, Bhediya and Kaminey, respectively.

Shahid Kapoor was left amazed by Anjana’s performance and said, “You’re so good; you’re a powerhouse performer. And what you did with your voice today is unbelievable. You’re very special.”

While listening to Anjana’s rendition of the song Dhan Te Nan, Shahid Kapoor shared how this track helped him prepare for his role as Guddu in the film Kaminey.

He said, “Before doing Kaminey, I had just finished Jab We Met and was confused about the movie’s zone. It was different from what had been introduced in India so far, so I wasn’t sure how to approach it.

I remember we were in Vishal sir’s office discussing the costume and other things when he handed me the headphones and asked me to listen to this song. That’s when I first heard Dhan Te Nan and it gave me an understanding of what I had to do in the movie.”
