Talking about the song at a media interaction here, Aishwarya said: "We wanted to stay true to the film. Just because we had Sanjay (Gupta), I and Ahmed Khan, we didn't want to add dance moves. We just kept it very simple and stayed true to the film."

Aishwarya is portraying a criminal lawyer in the film.

At an event here on Monday, the former beauty queen looked stunning in a navy blue top teamed with a pair of jeans and Jimmy Choo heels.

Actor Jackie Shroff, who was present at the event, praised his "Devdas" co-star as "one of the best actresses in Bollywood".

The song 'Bandeyaa', sung by Jubin Nautiyal and composed by Amjad-Nadeem, is an intense track, and depicts a tragic mood.

Directed by Sanjay Gupta, 'Jazbaa' will release on October 9.
