Mohar Basu (MID-DAY; December 30, 2017)

Known to be a director’s performer, Sushant Singh Rajput saved the day for the cast and crew of Kedarnath by enabling them to wrap up a dance sequence ahead of schedule. The actor put his training at Shiamak Davar’s dance school to use by choreographing and improvising a sequence, in order to finish filming it in two days, instead of the four allotted for the song.

A source tells mid-day, “It’s an upbeat wedding song with challenging, fast-paced choreography. Sushant helped choreographer Adil Shaikh to create the sequence, and also improvised on set. He pulled off an energetic performance. He rehearsed for several hours ahead of the shoot.”

Though Rajput is currently vacationing in Europe, producer Prernaa Arora says, “It was important for us to mount this song on a large scale. We were thrilled that Sushant wrapped it up early. We are happy to have such a professional artiste on board.”
