My dream was to become filmmaker: Vijay Ganguly

Mumbai Dec 24 (IANS) Vijay Anil Ganguly who choreographed "Galti se mistake" -- a song from the Ranbir Kapoor starrer "Jagga Jasoos" says he wanted to be a filmmaker like his father Anil Ganguly.

"My dream was to become a filmmaker like my father. Choreography happened by chance. After moving away from choreographer Shiamak Davar I had completely quit dancing. After a brief struggle I started assisting Anurag Basu in directing " Vijay said in a statement.

"While we were shooting some musical portions in Jagga Jasoos Mr.Basu asked me why was I not choreographing independently. I had no reason. It was Mr.Basu and my sister Rupali who motivated me so they are responsible for me being a choreographer " he added.

"Galti se mistake" for which he even won a Zee Cine Award is "surely the biggest thing that has happened to me and a turning point in my life."

He feels "Jagga Jasoos" director Anurag Basu is a "big and a very important part of my journey".

Would he like to work with any specific actor?

"One I already did - Ranbir Kapoor. But for sure it s Hritik Roshan Shahid Kapoor and Varun Dhawan. Katrina Kaif would be a dream to choreograph as well " he said.
