Vijay Ganguly Mom Steals the Show in Viral ‘Shararat’ Dance

New Delhi, December 25, 2025: As the high-octane spy thriller Dhurandhar continues to shatter box office records, its music has sparked a nationwide dance craze. While the track Shararat is already trending for its catchy beats and vibrant choreography, a new video has completely stolen the limelight.

Renowned choreographer Vijay Ganguly recently took to Instagram to share a heart-melting video of his mother, Rajani Ganguly, recreating the viral hook step of Shararat. Proving that age is just a number, the 70-year-old’s infectious energy and precision have left both netizens and Bollywood celebrities in awe.

Age Is Just A Number: Rajani Ganguly’s Viral Performance

In the video posted by Vijay, Rajani Ganguly is seen matching steps with her son with remarkable grace and confidence. Dressed simply, she executes the complex rhythmic transitions of the song with a smile that has won over the internet.

Vijay captioned the post, “Some ‘Shararat’ with my rockstar!” and it didn’t take long for the clip to go viral. Fans have been quick to point out that the talent clearly runs in the family, as Rajani moves with the same fluidity that has made her son one of Bollywood’s most sought-after choreographers.

Bollywood Celebs React: “Mummy Rockstar!”

The comment section of the post quickly turned into a star-studded affair. Leading the cheers was Vijay’s sister and Anupamaa actress, Rupali Ganguly, who proudly commented, “Mumyyyy rockstar. The best dance reel on this track!”

Other industry heavyweights also joined in the praise:

• Aditya Dhar: The director of Dhurandhar was floored by the performance, commenting, “Best Best Bestttttttt.“
• Farah Khan: The veteran choreographer-director jokingly asked, “Will she work for outside choreographers?”
• Gauahar Khan: Expressed her admiration, saying, “I want to be her in my 80s… God bless her.”
• Ayesha Khan & Krystle D’Souza: The original stars of the Shararat music video were equally stunned, dropping fire emojis and calling the performance “cool.”
• Nimrat Kaur & Tahira Kashyap: Both celebrities called the moment “Priceless” and labeled Rajani a “true star.”

The ‘Shararat’ Casting Controversy

The viral video comes on the heels of a minor controversy surrounding the song’s casting. Reports had recently surfaced claiming that Tamannaah Bhatia was “rejected” for the track. However, Vijay Ganguly recently set the record straight, clarifying that Tamannaah was never officially under consideration.

He explained that while she is an incredible performer, her massive star power might have “overwhelmed” the specific narrative needs of the scene, which is set during a high-stakes, tense moment in the film. The makers chose Ayesha Khan and Krystle D’Souza to ensure the story remained the focus—a decision that has clearly paid off as the song continues to dominate the charts.

Dhurandhar’s Box Office Dominance

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has become a cinematic phenomenon in 2025. Featuring a powerhouse cast including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal, the film has already crossed the ₹850 crore mark worldwide. With its gripping storyline and chart-topping music, it is currently the highest-grossing Indian film of the year.
