"All
this
Khan
versus
Khan
thing
is
being
blown
out
of
proportion.
I
am
shooting
the
title
track
of
Don
in
July
while
Salman's
Rockstar
concert
is
happening
now,
so
how
can
the
dates
clash.
I
am
good
friends
with
Salman
and
all
this
media
hype
shouldn't
spoil
it," says
an
irritated
Ganesh
Hegde,
a
super
Choreographer
who's
unnecessarily
dabbling
in
the
world
of
pop
music
chivalry
with
the
release
of
his
album
G.
Ganesh's
dance
moves
are
mesmerizing.
Fiza,
Pyaar
Tune
Kya
Kiya,
Lagaan,
Company
and
Koi
Mila
Gaya
are
a
few
of
the
films
graced
by
his
sensuous
dance
steps.
He
opened
the
act
for
his
childhood
idol
Michael
Jackson
and
Shaggy
during
their
Indian
leg
of
tour.
"It
was
a
dream
come
true
to
meet
Michael.
I
met
him
backstage.
I've
grown
up
on
his
dance," he
says
excitedly.
"Apart
from
Michael
I've
always
idolized
Amit
Ji
with
whom
I
had
the
good
fortune
to
work
with.
Alas
I
couldn't
meet
my
other
hero
Kishore
Da.
He
went
a
bit
too
much
before
time."
Like
his
hero
Kishore
Kumar,
Ganesh
is
a
damn
good
performer
during
live
shows.
He
has
done
over
100
stage
shows
all
over
the
world
and
the
demand
is
ever
growing.
"I
am
performing
at
the
F
Awards
on
14th
May.
Looking
forward
to
that,"
he
says.
During
one
such
show,
someone
told
him
that
his
singing
voice
sounds
similar
to
Kishore
Kumar.
Ganesh
took
it
a
wee
bit
too
seriously
for
within
no
time
he
was
out
with
a
pop
album
narcissistically
named
G
and
the
below
average
video
track
Main
Deewana
Hoon
was
blaring
from
all
TV
channels.
"It
was
a
big
launch.
There
were
eighteen
stars
including
Shahrukh,
Hrithik,
Abhishek,
Rani,
Mallika
Sherawat
etc."
It
seems
Shahrukh
encouraged
you
a
lot.
"Shahrukh
is
great.
He
goes
out
of
the
way
to
help
people."
Any
film
offers
since
the
release
of
your
music
video?
"Yes,
I've
been
offered
five
films.
I
have
already
refused
two,
one
of
which
is
being
done
by
Dino.
It
was
in
Kannada.
I
am
considering
the
other
offers."
What
else
has
changed
in
your
life
off
late?
"The
response
to
my
album
has
been
very
good.
The
kids
love
it,
the
girls,
the
boys,
everyone
has
liked
it.
They
wanna
dance
like
me.
People
have
offered
me
avenues
to
start
dance
schools
both
in
India
as
well
as
abroad,
do
TV
series
etc."
Ganesh
Hegde,
like
fellow
choreographers
Farah
Khan,
Ahmad
Khan
and
Raju
Khan,
also
plans
to
direct
a
film
once
the
timing
is
right.
"I
have
a
good
sense
of
humour,
it
will
help
the
film.
And
anyways
I
have
directed
my
own
video
so
I
have
some
experience
already."
It
is
apparent
that
Hegde
is
putting
his
feet
in
two
many
boats.
He
must
realize
that
he
is
best
at
Choreographing
and
should
stick
to
that.
Remember
what
happened
to
Sonu
Nigam
when
he
tried
his
luck
with
being
a
"Hero".
It
is
better
to
do
what
you
know
best,
rather
than
delivering
half-baked-entertainment.
