Aamir to groove to western beats in 'Ghajini' (Film Snippets)

Fans of Bollywood star Aamir Khan will be delighted to see the talented actor doing a completely western dance, a la "Koi Kahe kehta rahe" from the hit "Dil Chahta Hai", in his forthcoming film "Ghajini".

"It was a task making Aamir dance to a song which was supposed to have western moves. But I was highly impressed to see his classic dance skills," choreographer Ahmed Khan told IANS.

"It is a great song. It will definitely hit the charts and this is also my best work ever. I'm sure it will be appreciated," he added.

Viewers have already tasted a sample of Aamir's work with the song "Guzarish..." from "Ghajini" and are appreciating it for its simple yet classy choreography shot in Namibia.

Aamir has teamed with south Indian actress Asin for the film.

Sharmila helps daughter Soha with Bengali dialogues

Having done two Bengali films, Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan still gets her mother veteran actress Sharmila Tagore to speak the dialogues for her to get the Bengali accent right.

"I can't speak Bengali at all but I can understand it. It's difficult because I have had to memorise my lines with much more effort. It's a lot more work than required in Hindi and English films," Soha told IANS.

"I get my mother to say all of my dialogues and I record them and listen to them later to better my accent," she added.

The actress was seen in Anjan Das's "Iti Srikanta" and in Rituparno Ghosh's "Antar Mahal". She is now doing another Bengali project with Aparna Sen.

"I'm doing 'Goinar Baksho' (The Jewellery Box) with Aparna ji. It's a film that we have been planning to make since a long time and finally the dates and stuff have been decided. Am really excited, it's a lovely script," Soha said.
