Sophie Choudry misses out on dance number with Akshay Kumar

A situational dance number with in an Omani setting,Tu Hi Khwahish was tailor-made for Sophie. In fact,after listening to the tune,she quizzed director Milan Luthria about the possibility of dancing for at least some part of the Sunidhi Chauhan-rendered number.

“However Milan was sure that Akshay and Sophie would feature together in the song but not dance in it. That job was left to Hazel Croney and a bunch of other middle-eastern girls. The song is set as Akshay’s birthday celebration in the film and since he is playing a sophisticated don,he could not have broken into a jig. Ditto for Sophie who is playing a sexy socialite. It would have been really odd to see them dancing together,” defends a close associate of Milan.

Though Sophie was fine with the reasoning,given the fact that she had recently done a dance number in Balaji’s Shootout At Wadala,she was hoping to make her moves felt!

“I’m looking forward to the release of Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara. It’s looking stunning and I love my role in it,” says Sophie. “That’s what matters,” she concludes.
