Farah Khan cancelled Junaid Khan's dance; only kept Khushi Kapoor in 'Loveyapa' song: 'Tujse Nahi Hoga'

Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor are set for the release of their first theatrical, 'Loveyapa'. Both the actors have already made their debut on 'OTT'. While Junaid was seen in 'Maharaj', Khushi was seen in 'The Archies'. Farah Khan has choreographed a song for 'Loveyapa' and in a recent interview, Junaid revealed that he just cannot dance. He added how Farah just cut off his dance part from the song in the film.

He said in an interview with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, "Farah ma’am canceled our dance. During rehearsals, her assistants taught us the steps. But when she saw me perform, she decided to keep only Khushi’s dance and cancelled my part. She asked me to perform in front of her, watched me, and said, ‘Tujhse nahi hoga, tu chalke aa. Khushi se dance hoga, tu baithke dekh isko‘ (You can’t dance, just walk. Khushi will dance, you just sit and watch her)."

However, the actor said he underwent a rigourous training for 'Maharaj'. "I had to do garba in Maharaj. I rehearsed for 10 weeks, practicing four hours daily. If you look at me in the film, I’m so thin. It’s all Vaibhavi ma’am’s (choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant) magic," he said.
Though, despite his hard work, the editor cut his dancing shots in the song. "Shweta ma’am cut everything in that song, I was looking so good in it. She didn’t keep one mid-shot of mine. She has only kept wide to close shots," he added.

'Loveyapa' is set to release on February 7.
