Mumbai: Giving a testimony of her perseverance and dedication, Sandeepa Dhar rehearsed and shot for her dance schedules in the upcoming show 'Chattis Aur Maina' consecutively for seven days.
Being one of the busiest actors in town recently, Sandeepa had been juggling the shoots of multiple shows across cities. With the pandemic and the imposed lockdown in the nation, the team had to wrap the shoot in the earliest time possible, hence, the actress pulled off a week-long schedule for the dance performances without any breaks.
Playing a dancer in the
show, Sandeepa is seen acing five varied dance forms including Bollywood,
Bhojpuri, Belly Dance, Kathak and a Romantic couple dance for Chattis Aur
Maina.
Sandeepa is a
professionally dancer trained in various dance forms like Jazz, Bharatnatyam
and Contemporary, however, the show featured her attempting new dance forms,
that the actress learnt in a span of just two days. Sandeepa's
professional dance background helped the actress to masters the new forms
instantly, making it easier for the makers to shoot one song a day.
Sharing the experience of
her tryst with new forms, Sandeepa said, "Belly dance and Kathak were
completely new to me. I barely had 2-3 hours to learn the choreography,
understand and learn the techniques for Belly dance. The techniques of Kathak
are completely different from Bharatnatyam that I am trained in, so had to pick
up the hand movements, chakkars and expressions really quickly to match the
schedule. It was a major task since with Indian classical one cannot afford to
do a sub-standard job."
Though Sandeepa featured in a desi number for 'Laalam Laal' in
Kaagaz, 'Chattis Aur Maina' demanded Sandeepa to attempt a much more rustic
Bhojpuri number, the aesthetics of which were very different and raw in
comparison to anything she has done before.
Talking about the strenuous
schedule, she shares, "I have thoroughly enjoyed shooting for 'Chattis Aur
Maina' as the show allowed the dancer in me to flourish in full stride
throughout. Learning new dance forms like Belly Dance, and Kathak and shooting
for them back to back was definitely hectic but it also gave me immense
satisfaction to challenge myself and put my best foot forward. As a performer,
I always strive to grow and improve myself, Chattis Aur Maina made me push my
boundaries and deliver my best with a deadline of seven days."
After MumBhai and Bisaat,
Chattis Aur Maina is Sandeepa's third project to be shot and releasing in the
post-pandemic period.
