Tom Cruise to tango Bollywood style

Written By Prithwish Ganguly | Updated:

The actor is set to star in a musical where his character is apparently required to perform a few Bollywood dance steps.

His former wife Nicole Kidman performed to the Bollywood chartbuster Chamma Chamma in her film Moulin Rouge. Now, sources say that Tom Cruise is set to do a similar thing — tango to Bollywood beats.

Says a source, “The actor is slated to star in a musical where he plays a character that travels around the world in search of love and adventure. For this project Tom has to apparently learn

Bollywood dance steps as his character is shown visiting India.”
Tom has been taking dance lessons for his next movie Knight and Day starring Cameron Diaz. Recently, he also danced with actor Jennifer Lopez dressed as foul-mouthed music baron Les Grossman at a film awards. His sudden affinity towards dancing has got  tongues wagging about the musical.

A source from an international record label says, “Tom Cruise has been very keen to do a musical for a couple of years now. Recently, he has been seen doing a lot of dancing and  he can dance really well as he got a standing ovation for his dance with Jennifer Lopez at a recent awards night.”

Speaking after the performance, Tom had said: “I worked with Katie’s (Holmes, his wife) choreographer, Tyce Diorio. Katie loved it. She was there while we were working on it. You know, I can dance a bit and we rehearsed, and my wife’s a dancer and so I like dancing.”
