Danseuse Rinil Routh forays into Bollywood with Rhythm

Rinil is a trained dancer and performs various dance forms and as the film required the female lead to be a terrific dancer, the makers felt she was apt for the role. She has trained in Hip Hop, Contemporary and Street Jazz Dance from the Broadway Dance Center and Kathak from Pandit Birju Maharaj.

Talking about his film’s leading lady, Vivek Kumar said, “I chose Rinil for the role purely because she had all the qualities I was looking for in the character of Avantika. Rinil is a true Indian at heart but being based in New York she had the right attitude required for the role. Apart from being a fantastic actor, she is a trained dancer.This helped me to extract very good work from her as the role of Avantika is a very difficult one. Since my film is based in an International University, I wanted to choose actors, who were actually from different parts of the world to give more authenticity to all of the characters in the film and as luck would have it, everything just fell into place."

The romantic musical, presented by R. N. Kumar and produced by Vivek Kumar, also stars Pakistani actor-singer Adeel Chaudhry, will be releasing on 19th February, 2016
