Many firsts for the latest Befikre number

Ude Dil Befikre, the latest song from Aditya Chopra's Befikre features many firsts. Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor ‘dare’ each other to pull quite a few stunts, it also captures fun and quirky moments in rare Parisian locations.

Sporting bejewelled underwear, Ranveer walks into a posh red tie affair in this song. Vaani, who steals this piece of expensive inner gear for men as part of a dare, dares him to wear this garment.

The song also features quite a few Paris heritage spots onscreen for the first time ever. A source from the film’s unit said, “In the song when Vaani strips atop a table, you see the National Public Library, a historic spot from Paris that has never been seen onscreen before. Ranveer and Vaani shake a leg on the terrace of the Opera Garnier, the city’s famous historic house. A location that has been seen onscreen for the first time, only a four-member crew along with the actors was allowed to film at this tricky high spot.”

Ranveer also steals the ball from a premier football match just before it begins. The daring shenanigans continue in the song. From scaling views of the French capital as seen from it’s rooftops, to a beautiful historic bridge in a Parisian Park, Ude Dil Befikre is a visual treat.
