‘Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol have no ego, easiest to make them dance,’ says choreographer Ahmed Khan
Choreographer turned filmmaker Ahmed Khan recently opened up about making the Deol trio — Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol dance in Yamla Pagla Deewana 2. He said that while dancing is not their strength, it is the “easiest” to make Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby dance because they have a certain “childlike” quality to them.
When asked how he managed to make Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby dance in Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, he shared with O2india, “Yes, I am the only person who has made the three Deols dance. There’s the He-Man of Indian cinema, Dharam Paaji, Sunny Deol, who is like my elder brother, Bobby is my dear friend and I have made all three of them dance together in one frame”
Ahmed said that the Deol trio is very “humble” and are very “childlike”. He said, “I’ll tell you, it is the easiest because they are so childlike. They are so humble, they know dancing is not their thing. Sunny says, ‘you tell me, I don’t know anything, so I’ll do whatever you ask me to. It doesn’t matter if I look good or bad doing it, the public will accept me anyway’.”
Ahmed also added that it is easy to work with the Deols as they don’t have any input and there is no “ego involved”. He said, “Dharam paaji would say, ‘you give me anything, I’ll do it in my style’. So it’ll look like that only. And Bobby has a swag, so you can work with it. They are so honest and innocent that it is beautiful to work with them. It is easy because they don’t have inputs. There’s no ego involved. It is the easiest to make them dance.”
On the work front, Dharmendra was seen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. Sunny saw the biggest success of his career with Gadar 2 and Bobby received a lot of love for his extended cameo in Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The trio is all set to reunite for Anil Sharma’s Apne 2.
