National Award winning actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui says he took up a role in “Munna Michael” — in which actor Tiger Shroff pays tribute to his dancing icon Michael Jackson — to overcome his fear of dancing.

Nawazuddin says he has never attempted to dance in front of the camera, despite being in the industry for over 15 years.

“I will be seen dancing in ‘Munna Michael’. I signed that film because I was scared of dancing and wanted to overcome that fear. So, I took it as a challenge. I have never danced on screen. In fact, I have never danced in my real life too… like in parties.”

“I used to think how these actors can dance onscreen. But I wanted to overcome that fear, so I joined that film,” he added.

“Munna Michael”, which will be directed by Sabbir Khan, will also feature Ronit Roy and Nidhhi Agerwal.

Nawazuddin will next be seen in “Haraamkhor”, which has been directed by Shlok Sharma and is slated to release on January 13.

Twinkle Khanna and dad Rajesh Khanna share their birthdays on December 29. On her late father and superstar Rajesh Khanna’s 74th birth anniversary, actress-writer Twinkle Khanna penned an emotional tribute, recounting how she is a reflection of him. 

Twinkle posted a black and white image, featuring her and her father, on Twitter and instagram.

“I see you, in my reflection off the back of a gleaming spoon, in a gesture my sister makes, in the arch of my son’s eyebrows — I still see you,” Twinkle captioned the image.

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar also tweeted: “Remembering the man who defined superstardom and one of my favourite actors Rajesh Khanna on his 74th birth anniversary.”

Rajesh, who died in 2012 aged 69 due to cancer, was often referred to as the “first superstar” of Indian cinema. He starred in 15 consecutive solo hit films from 1969 to 1971, said to an unbroken record yet.

He was posthumously awarded India’s third highest civilian honour Padma Bhushan in 2013 for his work in the entertainment industry.

The actor was known for his work in films like “The Train”, “Kati Patang”, “Anand”, “Haathi Mere Saathi”, “Namak Haraam” and “Amar Prem”.
