“I am happy. I have won many awards, but it is the national award that I was waiting for. This means everything to me.”

“People think that Salman does his own style of dancing, which he doesn't do most of the time.”

“'A Flying Jatt' is a good superhero with no dark side. So, it is all good vs. all bad without any shades of grey.”

“If you have won a national award, it means you have done something great.”

“When I started off as a choreographer, I had to do songs, which I may have wanted to do differently, but directors had their own inputs to give. But now, I take liberty to decide my own dance steps as well.”

“My chemistry with Salman goes long back, and we have a great equation. Doing a film with him is no less than a dream.”

“No film can do well purely on the basis of dance.”

“I had two good films: 'ABCD2' and 'Bajirao Mastani.'”

“I look forward to 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' every year because the format of the show is really nice - celebrities coming in and competing with each other. The main reason I do it is Madhuri Dixit. I am a big fan, and I sit next to her, so it's like a dream.”

“I believe that reality shows are extremely important for the talented. Contestants get a platform where they can prove their talent. If they are good at what they do, their life is made. Personally, reality shows have helped me get fame and money.”

“'ABCD...' was a dance movie, but it had an emotional story, and now 'ABCD 2' is a very emotional film, too.”

“The prime reason behind making 'A Flying Jatt' was that there are barely any 'desi' superhero films in Bollywood which Indians can relate to. I wanted to exhibit that a superhero is more than just superpowers and leads a normal life like the others do. I wanted to attach a human factor to a superhero.”

“If I can make a dance-based movie like 'ABCD', then I was sure I could make a superhero movie, too.”

“I want to see movies that explore different forms and new styles of dance, and also those that revive the old.”

“I was 14-15 when I first saw Michael Jackson dance, and I thought, 'How can he move like that?' I started following him. We didn't have TV in those days, and could access videos on VCR. But who in Gujarat would keep a MJ tape? After a year or so, I knew somebody from Mumbai who got that tape for me.”

“'Flying Jatt' is a superhero movie, and the villain needs to be really strong.”

“I have worked with Salman a lot of times and have choreographed him earlier also. He doesn't do rehearsals; he never comes for that. He is the only actor who has never opened the door for rehearsals.”

“Hollywood and Bollywood films cannot be compared because of their budgets!”

“I would love to make Madhuri Dixit dance. If I do a film with her, it definitely has to be a 'Madhuri Dixit film'. I don't want to cast her in a small role. I will do a full- fledged dance film with her.”

“If you don't take a risk, you will not be satisfied and happy. I think one must look at creating history.”
