Sandeep Rajora's back in action! Actually, dancing!
The actor is playing a cool dance trainer and choreographer in Deeya and Tony Singh's Jhoome Jiya Re. Sandeep will make an entry in the show next week with a dance number.
He will be performing to the Bollywood number Shaka Laka Boom Boom. "I have practised the number only twice, but I'm sure it will go off well," says an excited Sandeep.
So is he a good dancer? "I have the rhythm. I've just been working on steps and co-ordination," he says. His all-time favourite dancers are Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing and Michael Jackson in The Way You Make Me Feel. Back home, it's Hrithik Roshan and Shahid Kapoor who he believes are fantastic dancers. "Hopefully I'll be able to emulate them," says Sandeep. Talking about his role in the serial, he says it's a character like that of Shah Rukh Khan in Chak De India. "In Chak De the coach's approach is not stern but friendly, that's exactly how my character in the show is. On TV, the kind of roles are very limited. There's not much of a variety available. I'm happy I've got a different role to play."
There's also another new show in the offing that he's looking forward to. But why was Sandeep missing from the small screen past many months?
"There were a couple of shows I was almost to do, but things got delayed. I guess 2008 had to set in. But I did a lot of commercials last year," he says.
Sandeep's now set for 2008. "I am hoping for lots of work, lots of good things to happen. I can see the optimism already setting in," he smiles. And what's on the personal front? "Personal front looks bright," he says, not wanting to reveal more. Right now it's only work, work and work, it seems!
