‘Even if it meant breaking bones, I wanted to dance well’
She might not be known for her great dancing skills but actor Kangana Ranaut (right) says she has worked extremely hard for an opera styled dance number in her next film.
The track Bloody Hell is out and Kangana feels confident that her song will leave fans floored. “I’m better known for my so-bad-it’s-good dance. But in this film, I did three major dance sequences in the first schedule,” says Kangana.
The National Award winning actor says she was determined to put the best foot forward in bringing high energy to her character Julia. “Dance in the 40s was about high energy and for me, it was all too new. I rehearsed a lot and I don’t think I was amazing. But I wasn’t terrible either. Julia is a first rate performer and to justify her popularity, I needed to be damn good. However, I was determined. Even if it meant breaking bones, I had to do it for this part,” she adds.
Director Vishal Bhardwaj roped in Norway-based choreographer Sudesh Adhana to train Kangana for the song. The actor, who plays a diva from the 40s, rehearsed through out November last for the song that was shot in December. “Sudesh is not just a choreographer but also a lecturer in modern dance. We collaborated on an opera in Paris, which I directed and he choreographed. We joined hands for song the Bismil song from Haider (2014),” says Vishal.
“This song is from a film within the film and Kangana worked really hard to get the dance form right,” he said.
