People blew notes after watching Chamma Chamma song

He was injured while shooting for ‘Chamma Chamma’
Urmila also suffered a lot of injuries while shooting for ‘Chamma-Chamma’. For this song, she wore a 5 kg lehenga and 15 kg jewelry. When Urmila got ready for the look test and photoshoot, director Rajkumar Santoshi told her that these ornaments were too much. Urmila replied that these ornaments are necessary for Banjaran’s look. The director explained to Urmila that you are wearing too many ornaments, but even if later you have trouble dancing with them, you will not be able to remove them, because we have to shoot with this look in continuity. As soon as the shooting of the song started, Urmila suffered a lot of injuries from her jewelry, but still Urmila danced vigorously in all the jewelry.
That’s why Urmila stopped getting work

Actually, Ram Gopal used to give his heart to Urmila and used to take only Urmila in his films. Due to Ram Gopal Varma’s films, Urmila kept turning down offers from other directors. At the same time, Ramgopal had a tussle with many people of Bollywood, just because of this, Urmila also stopped getting work and gradually her career got ruined. Urmila worked with Ram Gopal Verma in a total of 13 films, including films such as Antham, Drohi, Gayam, Rangeela, Daud, Satya, Kaun, Mast, Jungle, Company, Bhoot and Aag.
