MUMBAI: Choreographer Ahmed Khan torn between Hrithik and Shahid, can only shoot for one film next month. Ha-ving choreographed Shah Rukh Khan’s item song for Krazzy 4, Khan was to guide Hrithik Roshan through the same song.

SRK’s song was shot earlier this month and is a part of the promos being aired currently. Hrithik’s jig was slated for February, but has now been pushed to March, because of the actor’s knee problem. The choreographer is worried he won’t be able to make time for the same, as he is committed to another project.

“Now the dates are clashing with the song that I’ve to do with Shahid Kapoor for Ken Ghosh’s film. The dates were firmed in long ago. I don’t know what to do! Shahid is not just my buddy, he’s like my brother. Besides, the song requires a lot of special effects. There’s no way I can disappoint him,” says Ahmed, who is currently wrapping up the production work for Paathshala, his film, featuring a cast of child actors.

Khan needs to find a way out of the deadlock regarding Hrithik’s item song. “We’re trying to work out a solution. However, if all fails, then I’ll have to go with Shahid. Hrithik will have to get another choreographer.”

Ironically, at a time when Ahmed is taking his job as a filmmaker seriously, he’s much in demand as a choreographer. He just choreographed a number with Aamir Khan in the remake of Ghajini.

“With his newly acquired toned body Aamir’s dance movements are phenomenal. The way he moves has to be seen to be believed,” says Ahmed.
