Ahmed Khan's Journey After Rangeela Success
Ahmed Khan was a young choreographer who got his big break with the movie Rangeela in 1995.
He was paid a lot of money for his work and bought a white Tata Sierra car.
The movie was a huge success and made stars out of many people, including Urmila Matondkar and Aamir Khan.
Ahmed Khan had to make a quick decision to take the job, which meant his mentor Saroj Khan missed out on the film.
He faced challenges while shooting the songs, especially the theme song Spirit of Rangeela.
He praised Urmila and Aamir for their hard work and dedication.
Rangeela is being re-released to celebrate its 30th anniversary, and Ahmed Khan looks back on his journey with gratitude.
Ahmed Khan debuted as a choreographer with Rangeela in 1995, earning Rs 25,000 per song.
He bought a white Tata Sierra car with his earnings, which was later used in the 1997 film Aflatoon.
Khan's decision to take the job meant his mentor Saroj Khan lost the opportunity to work on Rangeela.
The theme song Spirit of Rangeela was challenging to choreograph due to its symphony style.
Khan praised Urmila Matondkar and Aamir Khan for their performances and hard work in the film.
