Giving into the need of the hour, many Bollywood actors are putting on their dancing shoes to entertain the audience. Ajay Devgn being the latest addition. The actor has taken to dancing in the 'Himmatwala' remake. Despite much effort, Ajay Devgn is unable to even come minutely close to Jeetendra's unforgettable dance steps. Sanjay Dutt can barely move with those huge arms and seeing him dance is not one of the best sights. Be it his latest film 'Zila Ghaziabad' or his early 90s film 'Yalgaar' where he mistook karate steps for dance moves. Anil Kapoor might be entertaining but the actor just can't dance. Since his 'Ram Lakhan' days to the recent 'Race 2', Anil has time and again proved that he has two left feet when it comes to dance.
