It’s the time to Disco…” goes the song from the super hit Kal Ho Na Ho but Boogie Woogie decided to bring the original disco dancer, who danced in the 80s to the popular,” I am a disco dancer..” thus bringing back some memorable disco dancing among the participants. Boogie Woogie, this Saturday, December 30th, 8.00 p.m, has the stage set for foot- tapping disco numbers to be performed by the participants in the presence of the Disco King!
This week producers Javed Jaffri, Ravi Behl and Naved Jaffri have roped in the man who ruled Bollywood with his dancing shoes to judge the show. Making his rare appearance on the small screen is the tall, dark and handsome actor who stormed Hindi cinema with his National Award winning performance in Mrigayya. Not only did he follow it up with two more National Awards for best actor, but is also registered in the Limca Book of Records for giving the maximum releases in a year. He is none other than Mithun Chakraborty himself!
Mithun makes a special concession to appear on Boogie Woogie and it is not disco alone. “I have known Naved, Javed and Ravi since their childhood,” says Mithun. “I have been a great fan of Jagdeep Saab and I have taught acting to Ravi’s sister once when I was myself struggling. They have been great family friends,”said the star who has always been known for being sentimental about old friends.
Rock to the tunes of “Jhoom jhoom jhoom baba…”, “Jimmy jimmy jimmy aaja ….”, “I am a disco dancer …”, “Disco 82…” with the participants. The contestants promise to revive Mithun’s dancing style with a vengeance. While the contestants pay tribute to Mithun by aping his style, the self-effacing actor gives credit to Javed in his inimitable style. Said Mithun, “To copy someone is an art and I think Javed has done Ph.D in it!” Mithun is very impressed with the show that he said, “I could not say “no” to this show because it’s a great show and so many talented people have been introduced through this show and I thank Boogie Woogie for it. Besides I think the best thing about the show is the repartees between the two brothers! ”
So viewers put on your dancing shoes and dance away your blues… Discover the dance mantra with Boogie Woogie. It is your chance to catch up with song, dance, music and Mithun too!
Stay tuned to Boogie Woogie on Saturday, December 30, 2006 at 8 p.m on Sony Entertainment Television…
