Vishal Bhardwaj reveals he was unsure about roping Wamiqa Gabbi for Fursat; says, “I had my doubts and had even discussed simplifying the choreography”

IANS quoted Vishal Bhardwaj saying, “I was always sure of Wamiqa’s acting capabilities, however, knowing that she isn’t a trained dancer, I had my doubts and had even discussed simplifying the choreography if required.

The actor's effortless ability to take up the steps impressed Bhardwaj. He added, “But she impressed us all after the first rehearsal itself. It’s her dedication towards her craft that she chose this challenge, and I am really proud of her.”

About working on with Vishal Bhardwaj in short film, Fursat, Wamiqa said “I like experimenting with various formats of storytelling. But the key point of this experiment with the format is execution. If it’s not executed well, it can completely go south.”

She added, “I am happy to have got a chance to try out this format with Vishal Sir. As they say, the devil lies in details, sir just goes for that. He points out those small nuances and which make his work a class apart.”

Wamiqa will be next seen in Vishal Bharadwaj's Khufiya along with Tabu, Ali Fazal amongst others. She was last in an anthology series Modern Love: Mumbai on Amazon Prime Video, which is an adaptation of hit American series with the same name Modern Love. She was part of Mumbai Dragon directed by Vishal Bharadwaj.
