Dhadak choreographer Tushar Kalia says deserving artistes will get due credit if their work is good. Asked if he feels that choreographers don’t get due credit as much as actors, Kalia said, “I don’t think it’s correct (to say that). People do notice quality work. If your work is good, you get your due credit. And it’s a team work to make a song successful. Actors, singers, music directors and choreographers — only when all the departments give their best, it’s possible to deliver a hit.”
Kalia has choreographed several Bollywood personalities like Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Jacqueline Fernandez, Shraddha Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Anushka Sharma and Arjun Kapoor.
But the choreographer always stays behind the camera and teaches steps to celebrities. Does he feel their efforts go unnoticed? “No, I don’t think so. We have chosen to be behind the camera and that’s our work and when the songs do well, everyone appreciates the work and thanks to internet, these days once the song is out everyone knows who has choreographed it,” he said.
