Dino Morea is on a new high in his career, what with two big releases lined up in a row. One of them is Anant Mahadevan’s AKSAR, while the second and the one that he is eagerly awaiting is Pooja Bhatt’s HOLIDAY. In the film, Dino plays the role of a trained dance performer in a holiday resort in Goa, who helps the protagonist (Onjolee Nair) realize her self-esteem and sense of worth, through the art of dancing.

Recently at a slick preview of the film, the spectators present were full of praise for Dino and Onjolee’s heart rendering performance in the film. Moreover, Dino was in for a big surprise when some of the spectators asked him whether he was a professionally trained dancer, what with the way he has danced to glory in the film. “It is something that was achieved in exactly one month’s time, with a lot of practice, dedication and hard work. The credit goes to the choreographers, Bosco and Caesar, who gave me all the inspiration to go ahead and try those complex dance steps,” Dino recalls.

Meanwhile, Pooja Bhatt is quite pleased with the response she has been getting for the film at the previews from friends and well wishers in the trade. “It is a film that is very close to my heart and the response has been overwhelming so far. I hope the audiences react similarly when the film releases,” she enthuses.
