Shahid Kapoor's latest film Chance Pe Dance has quite a few instances from his own life, especially his struggling years. The film also captures his terrific dance moves perfectly.
The Shahid showcase is directed by Ken Ghosh, who has known the actor for about 10 years -- from the time they did their debuts together with Ishq Vishk. Since then, Ken has only worked with Shahid. Chance Pe Dance is Ken's third film after the ill-fated Fida.
Ken tells Patcy N what to expect from Chance Pe Dance, which releases on January 15.
Shahid Kapoor has been a part of all your three films. Why do you work only with him?
Post Fida, Shahid and I kept planning to make another film. We locked onto this topic just before Shahid left to shoot for Kismat Konnection. Normally, the story comes first and then the cast. But in this case, it was the other way round. I fleshed out the story and turned it into a script when he was away.
I did not plan on working only with Shahid; that's just a coincidence. Before I start a film, three things need to be in order: the script, the cast and the budget. Somehow, all these things fall into place only with Shahid.
Is the film about dance or a struggling actor?
We had already decided to make the hero a good dancer. Then we expanded on it and made the story about a guy from Delhi who goes to Mumbai to become an actor.
