Vishal Bhardwaj’s short film Fursat is not just a beautifully made cinematic short film, but also used a broadway style of narrative. Wamiqa Gabbi who is in the female lead left everyone especially her director speechless after she impressed and wowed everyone with her seamless dance performance.
Vishal Bharadwaj was apprehensive initially to see how Wamiqa would adapt to this modern broadway style musical short film, but when he first saw her at the rehearsal he was assured of his choice.
Vishal Bharadwaj said, “I was always sure of Wamiqa acting capabilities, however knowing that she isn’t a trained dancer I had my doubts and had even discussed may be simplifying the choreography if required eventually. But she truely Impressed us all after the 1st rehearsal itself. It’s her dedication towards her craft that she choose this challenge and I am really proud of her !”.
Wamiqa adds about working on unique format, “I like experimenting with various formats of storytelling. But the key point of this experiment with the formats is execution. If it’s not executed well, it can completely go south.I am happy to have gotten a chance to try out this format with Vishal Sir. As they say, the devil lies in details, sir just goes for that. He points out those small nuances and which makes his work class apart”.
