Hrithik Roshan is Sooraj Pancholi’s dance idol

Sooraj Pancholi made a comeback with Time to Dance alongside Katrina Kaif’s sister Isabelle Kaif. The film is directed by Stanley D’Souza and produced by Lizelle D’Souza, wife of choreographer and director Remo D’Souza. Time to Dance is premiering on television this week. The film introduced ballroom and Latin dance to Indian audiences for the first time.

This is Sooraj’s third film as an actor after Hero and Satellite Shankar. Talking about his inspiration in dance, Sooraj said, Hrithik Roshan is my idol when it comes to Bollywood dance. I love dancing, but Latin was new to me. I never thought that I would get to do a Latin Bollywood film someday. With this film I got to learn a lot of new dance forms and work with some really talented dancers in the world.

Recalling the preparations for his character in the film, he said that before starting the shooting of the film, I had trained for about four months to perfect these dance forms and learn the style. It was a challenge to rehearse day and night. However, Remo sir and his team made it a piece of cake. Isabel and I both knew how to dance, but we are not professional dancers. So it was difficult to replace the dancer.

Sharing her experience of working with co-star Isabelle Kaif, Sooraj said that Isabelle is very hardworking and a great co-star to work with. I have previously worked with Katrina Kaif as an assistant director and Isabelle is just as passionate as her elder sister. I believe he still has a long way to go. Sooraj’s upcoming film is Hawa Singh. Time to Dance will have its world television premiere on August 14 on Sony MAX.
