shot ‘Tu hai toh’ in 6 hours

Saurabh’s journey with dance started at a very young age and by 15 he had graduated in dance, learning from various international choreographers. Post which, Saurabh joined Terrance Lewis’s dance academy for a bit and then started working independently as a choreographer and dance director.

Talking about his experience of directing and choreographing his mentor, Saurabh said, “Life has come by in a full circle, this will always be one of my most cherished works, as I got to choreograph and direct my mentor Terence Sir.

The melody of the song is sweet and playful, so the direction and movement had to be more candid and natural. Directing ‘Tu hai toh’ was challenging amidst all the limitations but we all gelled well as a team and everyone had the same vision. Shoot on sets was quite smooth and we finished the entire shoot in 6 hours.”

The song which has already crossed 2 million views has been loved and appreciated by all. Saurabh added, “This is my third video out in a month’s time and I loved exploring a different side of me while not just choreographing but also directing the music video.

I am so glad to see the response my work has been getting and everyones loving the look and feel of the music video. The music video is flowy, smooth, has a lot of emotions and the flavour is very catchy. “

The young and talented 21 year old choreographer has been basking in glory in the amazing feedback and reviews for his two other plum projects- Presented by T-Series the artistic contemporary dance to the romantic track ‘Kandhe Ka Woh Til’ featuring dancers Salman Yusuf Khan & Zaara Yesmin, Sung by Sachet Tandon and ‘Tere Bagair’ sung by legendary singer Udit Narayan and performed by Aditya Narayan. Saurabh was also an assistant choreographer for the Nora Fatehi Starrer song ‘Pachtaoge’

Good luck to the young choreographer as he embarks on a long journey. Watch out for many more videos coming up in the future for which he is super excited.
