The last time he came close to dancing was in Ishqiya last year. And the only time Naseeruddin Shah really shimmied to none other than Saroj Khan's moves was 22 years back in the superhit song Tirchi Topiwale from Tridev.
However, according to director Milan Luthria, "It's 'Oye Oye' time for the Shah Of Actors again."
Shah who plays an aging actor in the film, will have to perform a full-fledged dance number for Luthria's Dirty Picture.
The project, which already has had Vidya Balan who plays Silk Smitha, feel a little out of her element with the kind of costumes and the required weight gain, has now demanded that Shah do what he has never been comfortable doing.
In fact, the last time Shah really danced in Tridev, the media quoted him saying, "I am not really suitable for the role".
However, since filmmaker Luthria and producer Ekta Kapoor is adamant on Shah shaking a leg, he being the perfectionist actor he is, has demanded practice sessions for the same before the film goes on the floors.
A source informed us, "Naseer saab is rehearsing for his dance in Dity Picture every day at Milan's office. He comes for the rehearsal every day at 8.30 am."
"Naseer saab practices about two hours everyday. His wife Ratna comes along to boost him up a bit. And don't forget that Vidya is playing Silk Smitha.
So the dance is pretty fast and difficult. Hence, Shah's nervousness is justified, especially since he hasn't done a dance number since a long time, and he hardly did it even in his hey days," added the source.
When contacted, an excited Luthria said, "I have worked with Shah very closely in Najaayaz (1995) and Sir (1993). He is such an accomplished actor and yet is so much like a child. At the moment, he's rocking the dance floor preparing for a standout performance."
