Contrary to rumours of ill-health Saroj Khan is all set to face one of her career’s biggest challenges. She would be doing a song and dance for <em>Ram Leela</em> on a scale that leaves behind <em>Maar daala</em>, the song-and-dance Saroj Khan did with Madhuri Dixit for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s <em>Devdas</em>. “Who’s spreading rumours about me being unwell?” fumes choreographer Saroj Khan when I call her up to ask about her health. For the last few days the print media and internet have been abuzz with rumours of Saroj Khan being “critically ill” and hospitalized.

In her long and illustrious career this must be the first occasion when choreographer Saroj Khan’s work has been scrapped. But the need of the hour was a change of choreography. It is with some amount of shock and disbelief that we hear of the legendary Saroj Khan being relieved of her choreographic duties, and that too after she had completed her work for Vishal Bharadwaj’s <em>Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola. </em>

Keeping up the latest fad of announcing sequels much before the release of the original, Remo D’Souza has gone ahead and announced the sequel of his upcoming directorial venture <em>ABCD – Any Body Can Dance</em> two months prior to the film’s release.
