Akshaye Khanna improvised Fa9la hook step on his own
In a conversation with Filmygyan, Dhurandhar actor Danish Pandor, who played the role of Uzair Baloch in the film, made a major revelation. He said that Akshaye Khanna's viral dance steps in the Fa9la song were improvised by no one but the actor himself. He said, "We shot this in Leh Ladakh, and Vijay Ganguly was choreographing the whole song. We all heard the track and were stunned by how amazing it was. So, Aditya sir was explaining the shot to Akshaye sir. The whole choreography was happening, and in the middle of that, Akshaye sir asked Aditya, 'Can I dance?' Aditya sir said, 'Do whatever you like.'"
He further added, "Then there's a take, and we all enter, and he looks at everyone dancing, and he starts dancing on his own. There's no choreography for him. Everyone was stunned, like kya kar diya yeh inhone (what has he done). People started applauding so much after the shot; the frames were looking so good. He did it all on his own. He is terrific."
For the unversed, FA9LA is a Bahraini song written and performed by Flipperachi and Daffy, with music by DJ Outlaw.
