'I don't want to compete with star kids'
Young audiences loved Jackky Bhagnani's last film FALTU and it became his first successful film.
His father, veteran producer Vashu Bhagnani, launched the actor in 2009 with Kal Kissne Dekha, which bombed at the box office.
His new film Rangrezz -- which releases today -- is getting good reviews, and its desi version of Gangnam Style has already caught on.
Jackky talks to Rajul Hegde about the film and much more.
Why did you choose to dance to the desi version of Gangnam Style (Korean singer Psy's super-hit number)?
It was my idea to get the rights and I don't know how I managed to get it. It was like going to the moon and getting the moon back to the earth.
So many people in the world wanted the rights, including Hindi cinema, but I got it. I feel lucky and fortunate.
It took me three months. I contacted Universal Music. They rejected it thrice. I made them believe that I will do justice and it was good on their part to see that.
Apart from you, if you had to choose an actor from Bollywood to do a Gangnam style dance, who would it be?
(Long pause) Salman Khan. He can just stand in front of the camera and move his eyebrows and that becomes a step. He is the only one in the industry who has that kind of gift.
