From Taras to Champagne, Choreographer Vijay Ganguly Details Sharvari’s Artistic Evolution: “She executed the moves smoothly like butter!”

As Alpha continues its successful theatrical run, the movie’s new musical number, Champagne, has taken the spotlight, winning over audiences with Sharvari’s magnetic rhythm, fluid dancing, and undeniable charisma. Directed by choreographer Vijay Ganguly, the upbeat routine pushes the actress into an entirely fresh movement style, prompting the dance director to praise the sheer commitment and relentless effort she poured into the rehearsals.

Having first worked with #Sharvari on the much-loved track Taras, Vijay reflected on how far she has come as a performer. “Sharvari had very little rehearsal time for Taras, yet she pulled it off beautifully with her expressions, grace and the way she danced. I was very impressed and hoped we’d get another song together. Then came Champagne.”

Sharing how different Champagne was from their previous collaboration, he added, “Taras was very different from Champagne. Adi sir and Shiv wanted this song to have a lively, street and hip-hop vibe. We told Sharvari she’d have to rehearse a lot, but she picked it up so fast that I eventually had to tell her, ‘Stop rehearsing because you’re over-rehearsing.’ She kept working on every step and every expression until everything felt perfect.”

Vijay further revealed that Sharvari’s preparation made the shoot remarkably smooth. “When we finally went on set, it didn’t even feel like we were shooting a song. The moment the camera rolled, she was ready. She performed the choreography like butter. Even a difficult long-take sequence was wrapped much faster than we expected because she was so prepared. She gives such great takes.”

Praising her growth and commitment, Vijay concluded, “It’s been fantastic seeing Sharvari’s journey from Taras to Champagne and how much she has grown. She gave this song her 100% her energy, precision, look and performance. Every time we work together, it still feels like the first day. She’s got a great future.”
