You'd think it's Deepika Padukone's Hollywood work like Return of Xander Cage that gets her noticed on an international level. But Emmy award-winning choreographer Mia Michaels has revealed that it's Bajirao Mastani that convinced her of Deep's prowess as a performer.

Speaking to Indian press during her India trip for a dance reality show Dance India Dance Season 6, Mia gushed about her love for Bollywood and her favourite B-town star, Deepika.

“My goal is to do Bollywood… I am putting it out there because I have loved the Bollywood world for many, many years. I got familiar to it through So You Think You Can Dance. I love big production numbers and I love creating them,” said Mia.

“There is something very authentic and very passionate about the work in Bollywood. My goal is to learn more Bollywood but also create some. I would love to see something where I can infuse my style into Bollywood and explore or collaborate with a Bollywood choreographer.”

Mia Michaels has worked with Madonna, Ricky Martin, Celine Dion and Tom Cruise in the past. And now she seems to have her sight set on a project with Deepika.

“Deepika is amazing because she dances with so much passion," says Mia. When asked if she'd like to work with Deepika, she said, "That would be amazing.”

Michaels has been dancing since the age of three and specialises in tap, jazz, contemporary and ballet. She is best known for judging and choreographing for her TV show So You Think You Can Dance.
