17 Aug
Summary
- Vijay Ganguly unexpectedly won a National Award for choreographing a popular song.
- He credits Tamannaah Bhatia's performance for the song's widespread success.
- This award follows a family legacy of two National Awards won by his father.
Choreographer Vijay Ganguly expressed his surprise and delight at winning a National Award for his work on the song 'Aaj Ki Raat' from Stree 2. He had hoped the song would resonate with audiences but never anticipated it becoming one of the year's most popular party anthems.
Ganguly believes the song's widespread appeal stemmed from its excellent music, which connected with listeners of all ages, and the vibrant choreography that visually complemented its energy. He emphasized that Tamannaah Bhatia's performance was crucial to the song's ultimate success.
This significant achievement marks a continuation of a proud family tradition. Vijay's father, filmmaker Anil Ganguly, was a recipient of two National Awards for Best Story and Best Feature Film in Hindi. This marks the third National Award to enter their household, and the first for Vijay.
