Replacement news creates a fight between Farah Khan & Ganesh Hegde!

Farah Khan and Ganesh Hegde

Bollywood is such a vast place of happenings that most of the time we don’t even come to know who replaces whom in a particular film. Things keep changing here every second and any person can get replaced. The fight of who replaced whom is very old and still people are struggling between it.

The latest of this replacement fight was seen between two choreographers, Ganesh Hegde and Farah Khan. Ganesh is heard of spitting the venom of allegations over Farah saying that she is maligning his image in town and is spreading baseless rumors about him.

First it was reported that Ganesh was thrown out of a dance based reality show and Farah was brought in as his replacement. Then we got the news that Ganesh got her out of the film, “Ra.One”.  All these stories have led to a big fight between the two.

Ganesh says, "I have not replaced anyone. To replace someone, one has to be of the same caliber. I don't need assistants to do the choreographing for me. SRK and I have always worked together for things that needed an edge. It's easy to give kindergarten steps to lead actors and get away with it, citing the limitations of the actor”.

Farah hasn’t come up with any statement from her end so we can expect the fight to become deadly coz she too won’t gulp it all so easily!

Ganesh Hegde: Farah Khan is NOT the top choreographer

Ganesh had accused Farah of spreading negative stories about him being thrown out of a dance reality show, and Farah too had retorted in the media recommending a psychiatrist to Ganesh.

Ganesh feels that Farah has been misusing the power of press as she has many friends in the media. “I just want to say that please don’t run down people who are working hard. You may have the power of media but don’t misuse it. The fact is that somebody who dances well can choreograph a good song as well. Whereas somebody who depends upon their assistants and merely knows how to place the camera and do direction, that person cannot call herself the number one choreographer in the industry,” says Ganesh.

“Even stalwarts like Saroj Khan, Kamal Master, P L Raj, Prabhudeva..have never called themselves as the number one choreographer. Just by getting awards one doesn’t become number one,” he added. Ganesh is also hurt about the fact that Farah referred him as an ass in one of her interviews. “Farah said Kis gadhe ne kaha.. I would say that I am proud to be a donkey. I am also very hardworking and I pick up my own load unlike her who depends upon the assistants. I don’t make my assistants work and take all the credit. In that case Farah has no business to go on stage and accept awards,” asserted Ganesh.

RA.One’s Chammak Challo is choreographed by Ganesh.

Ganesh Hegde's dance moves in IPL 4

Bollywood's famous choreographer Ganesh Hegde, who has been associated with the last three IPL seasons, will be seen once again on the IPL front. He will show his dance moves onstage at the inaugural show of the opening day.

He tells us, "In the last IPL season, I had choreographed for the Kolkata Knight Riders IPL team. This season, I have been approached by the Pune Warriors IPL team to do the choreography for their theme song - "Sahara Pranam". And, I shall be performing on the opening day." What is more interesting is that the concept of cheerleaders in Pune Warrior IPL team has been recreated into an Indian form, and the cheer girls will be called 'Cheer Queens'. There will be three cheer queens on every podium and they will be performing traditional Indian dance forms with fusion of Bollywood latkas and jhatkas. It is indeed a very innovative idea and it is interesting to do something different for the first time." We agree with you, Ganesh.

Farah Khan has no business to accept award: Ganesh Hegde

The war of words between Farah Khan and Ganesh Hegde

Lot has been written about the choreographer Ganesh Hegde and choreographer turned director Farah Khan's war of words few months back. The war seems to have died down but Ganesh Hegde is still nursing the wound, particularly the scathing attack of Farah's sharp words.

For the uninitiated, the entire trigger point was the 'big news' about Ganesh 'replacing' Farah for choreographing songs in RaOne - Shah Rukh Khan's magnum opus which is to be released soon. Though the badshah earlier swore by Farah, their strained personal relationship during last couple of years meant that professionally too they had to distance themselves. On her part though Farah has maintained that she was never doing RaOne in the first place as she has moved to bigger things in life that is direction. Another dig that Ganesh had made on Farah was about her being just a token choreographer as now her assistants teach all the dance steps to the actors while she takes the back seat.
