One of the finest choreographers of Bollywood Terence Lewis, who made his acting debut with a short film ‘The Good Girl’ will be making his big screen debut very soon.
Terence confirmed the news to an Indian News Agency, saying “To begin with, this film is on dance and such an intriguing style of dance. This is contemporary.”
“So honestly, there is no actor in the industry who could do justice to this because dancing is the pivotal part of the film and it is not Bollywood, not hip hop, not salsa. It is contemporary which is not easy to learn. It is like method acting,” he added.
He said, “The character I have written really resonates with who I am in a certain way and also not in many places, it’s not me… But I would love to play this character because it is so interesting and dynamic. It is actually quite the opposite of who I am.”
Talking about his film, he said, “I have been offered many films before in the last few years, but I just did not want to do any film. I wanted to do a film which has depth and which has meaning, that’s why I had to write it for myself. So this is going to launch me as an actor and I feel justice to this role will be done by somebody who is a dancer and has the maturity to feel those things.”
He revealed that there will be two actresses in the film and the casting will be done very soon.
“I am a first-time writer and I wanted to give myself enough time and be very sure of each and every sentence being spoken by all my characters and make sure that each of them is true.”
Terence talked at length about the movie. He told, “This is a very childlike film… The kind of films I have grown up looking at and admiring the work of certain very mature directors. I felt that it was very important to write a very mature Indian film with dance as the background. I also felt that the contemporary dance hasn’t been explored at all and whether it’s India or internationally and I felt that it is so important to speak the story of these characters through dance in a very profound way.”
