Choreographer Chinni Prakash says he feels lucky that he became the "chosen one" for Ami Je Tomar 3.0 in the latest release Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Considering the track was the highlight of the movie, he revealed there were many who were eyeing to get selected as its dance director.
But, director Anees Bazmee trusted him, and thus he landed the song. "It was a once in a lifetime song. So many choreographers also wanted to do it.
I'm glad Anees bhai trusted me," Prakash said in an exclusive chat with Zoom.

These included the one with Tabu, Kartik Aaryan's shocking classical performance, and thirdly, Kiara Advani's possessed version.
Ami Je Tomar 3.0 was different. That's because he had two divas, Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan.
"Vidya and Madhuri coming onboard was a big and unique thing. It was the film's USP. I told Anees bhai it would be difficult and if we could think of any other way.
He refused and said it has to be a face-off only," Prakash said. But this became a worry for him. Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan's dance-off Prakash has been part of the film fraternity for six decades, having made actors across eras, generations and industries dance to his moves.
