Dennis Fernandes shares, It was an absolute honour to choreograph Sachin Tendulkar sir and Amitabh Bachchan sir.

Speaking about working with cinema superstars, Dennis continues, Choreographing Akshay Kumar, Suriya and Ram Charan was creatively thrilling. They are extremely disciplined, sharp, and full of energy. Their dedication made the entire process smooth and inspiring. It never felt like working with stars, but with passionate performers who genuinely wanted to give their best to the audience.
Dennis concludes by saying, ISPL Season 3 pushed us creatively and emotionally. From sports legends to film icons, every performance carried a different energy and responsibility. Being trusted with such legendary names is something I will always be grateful for, and it motivates me to keep evolving as a choreographer.
