Nani shocks with his crazy dance moves in Aaya Sher

Though Nani is fondly called the 'Natural Star', he is not generally known for high-energy dance numbers. However, the way he has pulled off the hook step in Aaya Sher has become a major talking point. Many are surprised at how convincingly he has executed such powerful steps.

Sporting braids and appearing mostly shirtless in the mass number, Nani’s look has taken fans by surprise. The choreography by Sundar Master adds further impact, giving Nani a completely new screen presence that is connecting strongly with the masses.

Along with the praise, the song has also invited a few trolls as some are making funny posts on social media. They feel that the manner in which the step has been composed is quite funny and Nani did not get the act right with his moves. But the response is unanimous and the song has surely created a solid hype.
