You've
heard
of
actors
demanding
extra
songs
and
dialogues
from
their
co-stars.
But
have
you
ever
heard
of
an
actor
offering
to
relinquish
songs
and
dances
for
the
betterment
of
the
film?
That's
what
Riteish
Deshmukh
did
on
the
sets
of
Milap
Jhaveri's
Jaane
Kahan
Se
Aayee
Hai
last
week.
On
being
told
he
was
required
to
do
an
elaborately
choreographed
song
sequence
Riteish
questioned
the
wisdom
and
sheer
logic
of
his
character
breaking
into
intricate
dance
steps
and
offered
to
let
the
film's
young
romantic
lead
Ruslan
Mumtaz
do
all
the
dancing.
Disbelieving
of
the
confidence
level
displayed
by
his
co-star,
Ruslan
says,
"The
choreography
by
Bosco-Caesar
involved
a
lot
of
B-Boing
which
is
the
hip-hop
style
of
dancing.
The
girls
Jacqueline
Fernandes
and
Sonal
Sehgal
begged
off
and
were
given
easier
steps.
That
left
only
me
and
Riteish.
But
Riteish
put
his
foot
down.
He
said,
'How
can
I
dance
so
well
when
I
play
a
loser?'
And
he
volunteered
to
just
stand
quietly
while
I
danced."
Ruslan
is
all
praise
for
his
co-star.
"Not
too
many
actors
would
be
happy
without
songs
and
dances
just
to
be
in
character.
Riteish
is
allowing
me
to
do
all
the
hero-giri
because
he
says
I
play
the
filmy
hero
and
therefore
I
should
do
all
the
filmy
stuff."
