The first song from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Padmavati is out and the music video will make you fall more in love with Deepika Padukone who plays the titular character, Rani Padmavati.

Titled Ghoomar, Deepika with her royal avatar nails the Rajasthani folk dance to perfection. You can see the hardwork and dedication with which the actress has perfected the moves.

Decked in a red lehenga which was paired with a green and yellow silk blouse, Deepika was seen accessorised with heavy gold jewellery. Her beauty will leave you mesmerised and her dance moves will leave you stunned.

Ghoomar is sung beautifully by Shreya Ghoshal and Swaroop Khan while lyrics have been penned by A M Turaz and Swaroop Khan. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has masterfully brought the right Rajputana flavour to the song and the set is gorgeous AF.

What did you think of Deepika's performance in Ghoomar? Let us know in the comments below.

Speaking about Ghoomar, Deepika stated to a leading daily, "It has been one of the most difficult song sequences that Sanjay sir and I have shot for. The shooting of the film began with this song and I will never forget that day. I remember approaching my mark for the first shot and suddenly, I felt a chill run through my body. It was almost as if Padmavati’s soul had entered my body. That feeling still lingers and will continue for years to come."

Speaking about perfecting the Ghoomar dance form, Deepika learned from Ghoomar expert Jyoti D Tommaar, who also runs a Ghoomar school which was founded by Late Padmashree HH Rajmata Geverdan Kumariji of Santrampur (former Princess of Kishangarh, Rajasthan).

A source revealed to the daily, "It is an extremely difficult performance art that takes years to learn, Deepika had to pick up the steps within a matter of days and she mastered it. Deepika did over 66 twirls while shooting for the song, dressed in an extravagant costume and adorned in heavy jewellery." 

Padmavati also stars Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji and Shahid Kapoor as Maha Rawal Ratan Singh. The movie is slated to release on December 1, 2017.
