Is it different stepping into a director’s shoes from a choreographer’s?
No, in fact it has lots of advantages. Even when choreographing a song, you work
Your movie has a really funny title, ‘Fool N Final’.
The characters in the movie are dead serious about settling scores with each other; however they end up doing it in a funny and foolish manner. So that’s how we got the title.
Did you have any problems managing such a huge star cast?
Surprisingly, no. It’s purely the relation that I’ve shared with them over the previous years of my career as a choreographer that helped me handle the movie in spite of such a huge star cast.
Finally, you were able to get Mike Tyson to shoot.
I could have bagged a Shakira or a Tata Young. However, we pursued Mike Tyson till the end as we wanted to do something different.
So, will he be featuring in the movie as well?
No, he won’t be featuring in the movie but only in the promotional song. But, his presence has already created a buzz. Not to forget the privilege of shooting him in the boxing ring. It was amazing.
How has your relation with Shahid been?
I know Shahid since he was 10. He is a choreographer’s delight. There’s hardly any step that he can’t perform. However, at the same time, he is also a bit too powerful and at times that works against him.
Apart from Shahid, who would you love to choreograph?
It would have to be Bebo (Kareena Kapoor). Though she isn’t a brilliant dancer, she creates a different aura when she comes in front of the camera.
Any future projects?
After this movie, I want to take a break and choreograph songs for the next few months. In the end, I’m a choreographer at heart.
