Not only does ace choreographer Longinus Fernandes create fabulous work within the Hindi film industry, he is also in demand for films and other special projects the world over. Of course, we all remember his fabulous ‘Jai Ho’ for Slumdog Millionaire. His work was also featured in the IFC mini-series Bollywood Hero with Chris Kattan. More recently, he choreographed the Icc World Cup Anthem 2011 ‘De Ghuma Ke’ as well as the Ipl Anthem 2011. Plus the choreographer also was just in Singapore last month to judge for the Move Move Dance Contest.
One of the interesting projects he was asked to take on this year was for an American – Indian film titled Will to Live. He created two special dance sequences for the project and says he had a blast doing it. Longinus took time out of his busy schedule to chat with us about his experiences working on this Hollywood-Indian film.
