Dance choreographer Shiamak Davar’s name has long been associated with contemporary jazz and western dance forms. The 47 year old choreographer who is also responsible for introducing new dance forms in Indian cinema is now all set to turn into a film director with a movie titled ‘Slumdog Millionaire Goes Dancing’.
Davar who runs a dance school by his name, got his first break in Bollywood with Yash Raj films ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’. The choreography of the movie was highly appreciated and Davar went on to win the National Film Award for Best Choreography for this movie. Since then Davar has directed several Bollywood movies like Taal, Bunty aur Bubli, Dhoom 2 and Taree Zamen Pe.
Davar has not only achieved enormous success with his choreography in Bollywood alone. He has also worked on several other prestigious projects like being Director of Choreography for the Commonwealth Games at Melbourne.
Shiamak is all set to don the hats of a film director with the movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire Goes Dancing’. Shiamak has since quite some time been thinking of venturing into film direction and he couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity. His maiden debut as a director will begin with a movie that revolves around dance. Produced by Percept Pictures, ‘Slumdog Millionaire Goes Dancing’ revolves around a bunch of slum children training to participate in a dance competition.
Shiamak’s ex-students and current stars Shahid Kapoor and Ruslaan Mumtaz are expected to make guest appearances in the film. For the main cast Shiamak is going to audition children soon. Does that mean another dance reality show for children, are the Indian Television Channels listening?
