“‘Make a Move’ has to do with healing through the arts. A lot of movies have tried to explore and eradicate the issue of abuse. We are not focusing on abuse, but importantly, on how you can get out of that situation you wouldn’t want to find yourself. It’s about emancipation; taking a step and finding the audacity to do something that would help your life.”

“Actually, I intentionally did not want to say, it’s either music or dance. I prefer to say it’s for the arts. Although it’s more about dance, I’m hoping that people would see that the characters change the direction of their lives through the artistic choices they made. So, it’s really not about music, it’s about healing through dance.”

“I’m an adventurous person, I do a bit of different things. And as an actress, I should be able to do a bit of different things. Singing is something I can do and I intentionally did the soundtrack for the movie. It’s not a single per se, rather it’s a soundtrack for the film and people liked it.”

“I’m very particular and partial towards the affairs of women and children. If I have any opportunity to help a child or a woman, I would do so. That doesn’t necessarily make me a feminist. If I also come across a man who is passing through a difficult situation, I’ll equally assist the person. I’m not against the opposite sex. I’m just more passionate about the affairs of women and children because they need help more and I’m very passionate about my art and craft. So, I had to bring these two things that I love together to enable me preach something that I hope would inspire a lot of people.”

“Not at all. But I insist that people who have not had bad experiences in life need to rise up and help those of them who have been badly hit by the storms of life. I have not experienced any kind of abuse,but I have seen and heard about people who go through these things and to me, it’s injustice and I just felt I had to use this medium to lend my voice.”

“At the moment, what is making waves is the trailer. But the film will be out in a few days from now. Judging from the trailer, the reception has been heart-warming. A lot of people loved it, giving the fact that it’s a dance movie. Though dance is an aspect of it, but what most people don’t realise is that there is more to it than just dance. Hopefully, when they see it, they’ll get to understand it better.”

“That particular issue is a bit tricky. What was meant was that other films have met a particular target and I hope to either meet or beat the target. When you embark on a project, you hope for the best. You look at what your competitors are able to make in terms of return on investment and you hope to beat their record. But, I can’t in all fairness sit here and give you a definite amount I hope the movie will make when it hit the cinemas. The film industry is probably one of the risk filled industry in the country, because there’s no assurance that you’ll recoup whatever you spent producing the film.”
