Ibrahim Ali Khan made his acting debut with Shaunta Gautam's romantic comedy film Nadaaniyan. The movie was released on March 7 on Netflix. Vijay, who choreographed Tirkit Dhoom in the film, revealed how Ibrahim worked hard to get the dance steps right.
"Ibrahim is not a fantastic dancer but a very hardworking one. Though he comes from a Nawabi family, he is grounded. Every time he didn’t get a step right, my assistants would go out of our way to make sure he did it well," he told Mid-Day.
In the same interview, Vijay recalled meeting Amrita Singh on Zara Hatke Zara Bachke's (Sara Ali Khan's film) set after many years. The choreographer recounted meeting the actress during Sara's film shoot. He choreographed the song Chaka Chak for Sara in Atrangi Re.
"I met her properly during the shoot of Sara’s Zara Hatke Zara Bachke [2023] and she remembered that I had choreographed Sara’s song, Chaka chak [from Atrangi Re, 2021]. Sara would wake me up in Goa at 4 am to rehearse. She is transparent and has no filters. Sometimes we have to tell her to calm down," shared Vijay.
