Prabhu Deva
Farhan Akhtar contacted me a year ago and asked me to choreograph a song featuring Hrithik Roshan for his new film. Because the director was Farhan, I agreed to do it.
Had he asked me to choreograph more songs, it would not have been possible. I had started the preliminary work on my directorial debut. I did it only because I had given the dates long ago.
Mein Aisa Kyon Hoon was shot in December 2003.
When I gave Farhan the dates, the song was not recorded.

But when I heard the song, I liked it very much! Just by listening to the music, I knew I could choreograph it well. As I have seen many of Hrithik's songs, I knew it would come out very well. Everybody knows he is a very good dancer.
Once we started rehearsing, I found he was even better than I had imagined. He is a superb dancer and grasps whatever you tell him in no time. While choreographing a song, you have to keep the actor and his abilities in mind. You can only ask them to do what they are capable of. I knew Hrithik was a very good dancer, so I gave him difficult steps. He did it superbly. He had no difficulty grasping the movements. We finished the song in four or five days. If you were to ask me if there was any difference in choreographing that song and the other songs that I have done before, I would say, there was no difference at all. There was no difference in my commitment. The difference is in the dancer. Because he did it wonderfully, everybody is talking about it. The costumes also were very good. Initially, I was not sure whether the dance was good. I feel that way about all my dances. Only after watching it a few times, I felt it was okay. You never feel totally satisfied; you feel it can be done better. I like it when people accept it wholeheartedly, because I like what people like! After all, we do everything to entertain people. I enjoy my songs for the first three months. After that, if I see that song, I feel I would have done it better. Now, when I see a song that was a big hit ten years ago, I feel I could have done it better. I don't know how I will feel about Main Aisa Kyon Hoon after a while. People tell me that Hrithik's movements remind them of mine. That is because he danced exactly the way I asked him to! Prabhu Deva spoke to Shobha Warrier from Hyderabad |
