Speaking about his experience with Allu Arjun, Rajit says,” I’ve worked on a song with Allu sir earlier, but I was an assistant to Vaibhavi Merchant. This is the first time I choreographed him as an independent choreographer. Making Allu Arjun dance to my style is nothing less than a dream to me.” He went on to appreciate the superstar adding, “Allu Arjun sir is such a humble person. Despite the huge stardom, there’s a beautiful heart which is warm and amazing.”

Another milestone which Rajit has crossed now is working with a K-pop band for this song. He shared his experience about working with TRI.BE adding, ”I am very proud to say that I’m the first Indian to choreograph a K-pop band. It’s a huge thing. The group of girls (TRI.BE) were so sweet and super professional. They have so much energy, which I have experienced on the set and made my work look great.”

He also went on mention that he faced his own set of challenges when he had to bring together such big names together. “I was under a lot of pressure for coming up with a good hook step. As everyone knows Allu Sir is a fantastic dancer. His swag is simply magical. My thought was I’d make a few options which I feel are good and show it to sir to choose one. He liked everything but then we settled down with one particular style and everyone’s hooked to it,” he mentioned.

“I also wanted to incorporate Indian classical hands for the K-pop group. I knew this would be a great collaboration of Indian and Korean culture coming together,” he concluded. The song has released now and the choreographer asserted that he received a lot of appreciation for his work.

For the uninitiated, the music video of ‘Memu Aagamu’ is directed by Collin D'Cunha and it was shot in mid of July in Bangkok.
