Jay Kumar Nair, who was among the top four contestants on Dance India Dance, has finished shooting for his film Fast Forward. The movie will release next month.
Jay says, "I was offered the role before I took part in DID. I was a winner on Boogie Woogie and the film's producer, Anjum Rizvi, noticed me on the show. When he called me for the role I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a joke and, as I have been fooled before, I just hung up. Then, he called someone who knows me very well and told him about the offer. It was then that I realised it was not a lie."
Fast Forward has been delayed by two years. The cast started shooting for the film in 2007 and the movie will release in August this year. But this hasn't dampened the actor's spirits. He says, "I am happy and excited. I have a done few small roles here and there but this is going to be my first important project after I became famous via DID. I have choreographed three songs but was not given credit in the titles. Now, the producers have promised that my name will be mentioned."
Talking about his lifelong dreams of being an actor, he says, "It was my dream to be an actor. Choreography is also a top choice for me but I will never do a TV show, not even dance realities. After gaining so much popularity, it's up to me to manage it and further my career."
Jay is also working with his friends on a script but says that it is a work in progress so he will not be able to reveal much. As for his other projects, he says, "I am looking forward to Zee TV's world tour, which they are supposed to arrange soon. I have also been offered to judge competitions and performances and I am planning to start my own class in October. I have been getting offers for music videos too and have worked on a few movies, but I will not be able to reveal their names until a release date is announced." Jay's academy is in Andheri, Mumbai, and he will conduct auditions to choose his assistants after which he will train them.
Fast Forward also stars Akshay Kapoor and Rehan Khan. The film releases on August 7.
