Bengaluru: Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor, who will be next seen in dance drama film Any Body can Dance 2, said that she is inspired by her father, actor Shakti Kapoor.

The 26-year-old Ek Villian actress will star alongside Varun Dhawan and Prabhu Deva in director-choreographer Remo D'Souza's upcoming film.

"Apart from dance trainers, I thought of my dad (Shakti Kapoor) while dancing in ABCD 2. My dad always says that when you dance you have to have a lot of energy. It has to be in your bones. You have to literally break ground," Shraddha told PTI.

The actress said she got to learn a lot from Remo's dancers. "We got to learn from Remo sir's dancers who are such amazing teachers and all comes from his philosophy. It was amazing; it was outstanding."

Did she get any tips from Prabhu Deva?

"Prabhu Deva is amazing. He did not give as such, but we got to learn from him while shooting the film. Also he plays our guru in ABCD 2. Dancing with him was a dream come true."

Shraddha is very excited about the release of ABCD 2 as it was her dream to play a dancer's role in films. "I am so excited I can't tell you. It is the first time I am doing a film of dancing," she said.

"I have waited for a very long time to play this role. Finally it is happening. A lot of rehearsals and sweat have gone into it," Shraddha added.

Shraddha, apart from making headlines for her character roles in films like Ek Villian and Haider, has also carved a niche for herself as a singer. The actress had stolen many hearts by crooning the unplugged version of Galiyaan from Mohit Suri-directed Ek Villian.

The actress said she is taking vocal lessons from Samantha Edwards. "I am taking vocal lessons from musician and trainer Samantha Edwards. She is amazing, outstanding. Such a beautiful voice," she said.

Samantha is also songstress Priyanka Chopra's music trainer. "I am playing a singer's role in Rock On 2, therefore I needed some guidance from an expert. Samantha is good at voice modulation," she said.
