shaking a leg in Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari years after his tapori dance in Satya, Manoj Bajpayee on how he enjoyed exploring the art form.

By virtue of the films he chooses, Manoj Bajpayee has rarely got the opportunity to explore dancing on screen. That is not to say the actor does not enjoy shaking a leg in front of the camera — after all, don't we all remember his tapori dance in Sapne mein milti hai from Satya (1998)? For his upcoming film Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari, Bajpayee put on his dancing shoes, and matched steps with Karishma Tanna and Abhishek Banerjee in Basanti.
"I haven't explored dance, as an expression, as much as I would have liked to. When I said yes to the film, I was specifically looking forward to the dance sequences. I had a ball shooting for the song, and it made me realise I can do more of this," says Bajpayee, who filmed the track over two days at a Veera Desai studio in January.
