Mad about dance, Katrina is gushing about her ABCD sequel

If you think Katrina Kaif’s dancing is her strongest point, then her upcoming dance flick should be a must-watch. A Remo D’Souza directorial, it sees her pair up with another fabulous dancer, Varun Dhawan in the third instalment of the ABCD franchise.

Naturally it’s dance talk all the way for the actress, who is synonymous with some of the most sensational dance numbers in Hindi films, including ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ in Tees Maar Khan (2010), ‘Chikni Chameli’ in Agneepath (2012), ‘Kamli’ in Dhoom 3 (2013) and ‘Kala Chashma’ in Baar Baar Dekho.

Katrina candidly admits that when she started out, she didn’t know much about dance and although she would do it with full dedication, her choreographer wasn’t happy!

The change came when she focused a lot of her energy on it. “Whether it was learning Kathak with Pandit Viru Krishna Maharaj or working with choreographers like Farah (Khan), Bosco (Martis) and Ganesh (Acharya) for my films. Dance became my passion and I felt it was a different way through which I could express myself. It’s still an area which is unexplored. We can do so much with our song-and-dance sequences. There are endless possibilities to what we can achieve,” she raves.

When the ABCD sequel came her way, she claims it astounded her. “I liked the concept and what the makers were planning to do with the story. I love Varun and his energy. I have known Remo for a long time, too. It’s an opportunity for all of us to do something special. This is the dance film I always wanted to do!” she enthuses.

She shares that the whole space they are getting into with this film is absolutely new. “It’s a dance flick but in a different zone. So, it’s an amalgamation of all the right things put together.”

The film will comprise several forms such as hip hop, contemporary, classical or jazz. And for Kat, the film’s setting, the choreography and the story allow her to do the kind of dance that she has always aspired to.

Any wonder then that she’s literally dancing on air!
