No Indian movie is complete without songs and no song is complete without dance and expressions. Initially, the director himself would allot a few steps to the actors without much movement and a song picturization would be canned. This was followed by directors calling professional dancers to teach a few dance steps and lip sync to a song and one would get to see the word Dances by in the film credits. Later, the word Dances was changed to Choreography where the director and dance master would conceive a song according to the script before its picturization. Choreography soon got its due recognition as a full-fledged career for many. Film direction was considered a natural transition after choreography for some as they started searching for scripts woven around dance and songs but with minimal success. Soon they realized direction is no cake walk as it’s more than just choreographing songs. Some of our Bollywood choreographers took the bait and decided to go that extra mile by wielding the megaphone. Here are the 11 choreographers who tested their luck at movie direction:
