By Ians English
Southern
actor
Rahul
Ravindran,
who
recently
underwent
gruelling
dance
sessions
lasting
nearly
24
hours
for
upcoming
Telugu
film
Hyderabad
Love
Story,
feels
dancing
skills
are
very
important
for
an
actor.
In
an
interview
to
IANS,
Rahul
Ravindran
said,
"I
feel
South
Indian
actors
can't
get
away
with
dancing.
We
do
so
many
commercial
films
that
dance
has
become
an
integral
part
of
it.
Even
star
actors
make
the
effort
to
dance
and
entertain
their
fans.
All
actors
should
learn
dance
before
they
enter
films."
"You
can
only
get
away
with
dancing
if
the
audience
accepts
you
for
some
special
quality
or
trait.
For
instance,
not
all
stars
are
great
dancers
but
they
are
still
embraced
by
audiences
because
they
are
special
for
various
other
reasons," he
said.
Rahul
says
dancing
in
cinema
is
very
technical.
"I'm
not
a
terrible
dancer.
I
also
learnt
dancing
before
I
entered
films,
but
dancing
in
cinema
is
different
because
it
is
technical.
You
need
to
choreograph
each
step
in
a
song,
especially
duets.
I
would
rather
dance
to
peppy
'mass'
numbers
which
usually
involves
lot
of
free
style
movements," he
added.
Rahul
is
currently
busy
with
two
Telugu
films
Hyderabad
Love
Story
and
Ala
Ila.
He
is
expected
to
start
shooting
for
another
Telugu
film
soon.
He
wants
to
concentrate
in
Telugu
for
the
time
being
"Post
my
cameo
in
Tamil
film
Vanakkam
Chennai
last
year,
I
was
offered
similar
roles
in
a
few
big-budget
Tamil
films
as
well
but
nothing
excited
me.
I
want
to
concentrate
on
doing
films
in
Telugu
now.
(But)
If
an
exciting
Tamil
film
comes
my
way,
I'll
be
happy
to
do
it,"
said
Rahul.
