Dance-based films are a necessity: Hrithik

Actor Hrithik Roshan is happy that dance-based films are being made in the country.

"There are so many ways to entertain people and dance is a very powerful medium to inspire the youth and bring in physical discipline. A film based on dance is I think a necessity because we did not have this [before]. I am happy that people are making such films and I am glad that these films are doing well," Roshan said.

"I believe that films like ABCD are important for motivating, encouraging the youth, teaching them the discipline of life. I think dance is one medium through which you can learn all good values to build a good character," he said.

To a query on when will he make a dance-based film, he said, "I have been dancing all my life. I don't think I need to make a film on dance. Every film of mine has dance."

Roshan, 41, will be performing this year at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards, held from June 5 in Kuala Lumpur.

"People are looking forward to my dance and I am happy about it. I am going to give them the best this year. I am going to express my love, gratitude through dance. This is more magical than the technical steps," he said.

When it comes to sharing the stage with an actor, Roshan wants to dance with Shahid Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Arjun Kapoor." I wish I get a chance to dance with Anil Kapoor [too]," he added.
