He has even ordered a specially made lungi which is 80% Cotton, 10% polyester and 10% Kanchipuram silk to wear in the music video. That totally sucks! John is devastated but he is confident the ‘Vaiko dance’ will smooth things over.
After 10 years he has finally managed one decent film but it is his bad luck that it is banned in Tamil Nadu. Vaiko Dance,Vaiko Dance ,Vaiko Dance,Vaiko Dance ( x2 )Ī source familiar with the scene said, “John is very dedicated, yaa. Sources have confirmed that the chorus lyrics are adopted from the ‘Lungi dance’ but with tweaks to reflect John’s fixation for Vaiko. Singer Uttam Bhartiya Shastriya Rajeshan Namboodari Iyer the Third, better known as Yo Yo Honey Singh who sang the original ‘Lungi Dance’ song in Chennai Express, has already recorded another version for the ‘Vaiko dance’. John has deliberately chosen to tribute Vaiko, whose support for the Lankan Tamil cause has earned him many die hard fans and loyalists. John is also taking Tamil language classes to chant verses from the Thirukkural along with co-star Nargis ‘Duckface’ Fakhri who in turn is taking Hindi classes. John is hoping his ‘Lungi dance’ for Vaiko will do the same with the knowledgeable Chennai crowd and finally clear the decks for his film to release in TN. The actor, who has strenuously denied that the film in any way fuels animosity towards Tamils or anyone else of Dravidian descent, seeks to clear lingering misconceptions with his rendition of the ‘Lungi dance’ through which he will pay tribute to the MDMK leader. Sources say the actor is miffed with the Tamil Nadu government for banning his latest release ‘Madras Cafe’ over sequences that allegedly depict Lankan Tamils in a negative light. Reasonably well known actor and prominent exhibitionist of abdominal muscles John Abraham has told close friends that he is planning to shoot an SRK-Chennai Express style ‘Lungi dance’ which will be dedicated to the preeminent champion of Tamil nationalism and LTTE aficionado Vaiko.
