Director Kunal Kohli is all excited about the new mantle he is about to don next month, that of a judge in NACH BALIYE-2. Kohli has taken Farhan Akhtar's place in the famous dance show in which celebrity television couples demonstrate their dancing skills. "I am not a great dancer but I am particularly looking forward to the show because my roots are from television and it is like homecoming for me. Besides, the program has got a tremendous following among viewers," he says.

In the show Kohli will team up with choreographer-friend, Saroj Khan and ace dancer, Malaika Arora, to judge the contestants. "Saroj-ji had choreographed some of the numbers of FANAA besides the several music videos that I have done with her and she's a great person to relate to. I recently did a photo shoot with Malaika and I am sure we'll make an excellent threesome," he smiles.

Meanwhile, he is lately inundated with calls from curious friends wanting to know the next social cause that he's planning to take up, after he recently waxed eloquent in a show conducted by Barkha Dutt. "I have no intentions of turning a full-time social activist if that's what people want to know but I do like to voice my views on issues concerning the society at large," he says.
