Longinus Fernandes to choreograph a Hollywood movie!

After working with likes of Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) and John Madden (The Best Exotic Marigold 2), done choreography for a Chinese film and now back with another Hollywood Venture (Sense 8) by getting roped in by the well-known Hollywood film director duo Lana and Andy Wachowski. Longinus Fernandes is excited and thrilled about this new Hollywood venture. Director duo Lana and Andy Wachowski who are busy shooting their new Netflix series Sense 8 at various locations in Mumbai, have Bollywood actors like Anupam Kher, Purab Kohli and Tena Desae on board.

Longinus shares his experience, "I felt ecstatic when I was approached by the Wachowskis. I feel lucky to have always been blessed with good work and good people. The song sequence is in English and Hindi and I have mixed Bollywood dance moves with some hip-hop and jazz. They wanted me to choreograph the song in such a way that it had a blend of both Indian and western dance forms. They wanted typical Bollywood moves in the song sequence and as per their demand I included ‘desi’ moves from ‘bhangra,’ classical dance and so on. It was a totally different experience for me to work with the crew. Working with Wachowski siblings is a dream come true, that couple of weeks were one of my best moments."
