Before he became an actor, Arshad Warsi was a choreographer
-- and he returns to choreographing after 20 years with his upcoming film
"Calling Mr. Joe B Carvalho" in which he directs a song.
Arshad says dance is his passion.
"I am enjoying it and it feels good. Dancing is my
passion and I enjoy dancing. It has been ages since I did my kind of dance. So
I am enjoying it now. I have done the choreography, movements, and body
language," the 45-year-old told on location of the song.
"Calling Mr. Joe B Carvalho" is a comedy that also
stars Shakti Kapoor, Soha Ali Khan, Geeta Basra and Javed Jaffrey, among
others.
Arshad, who made his acting debut in 1996 with "Tere
Mere Sapne", now hopes to choreograph at least one song in each of his
movies.
"I felt I won't be able to do it. But now I feel like
choreographing at least one song in every film like Prabhudheva," he told.
Arshad used to choreograph for plays and jazz performances
and accepts that dance today has completely changed. However, it is not tough
to adapt to the current trend.
"I had never done film songs, I used to do English,
modern jazz and plays. I did just one film, the title credit role track of
'Roop Ki Raani Choron Ka Raja'. It was very different. Definitely, the trend
has changed, what happened then and what happens today is completely
different," Arshad told.
"But if you are a dancer, then it is not tough to
adapt. A dancer is a dancer. if I can do jazz, then I can also do modern jazz,
break and Hindi dance also. Give me anything, I can even do Bharatnatyam if
taught," he further added.
In 1991, Arshad won the Indian dance competition and later
went on to bag the fourth prize in the modern jazz category in 1992 World Dance
championship held in London .
He even opened a dance school called 'Awesome'.
