‘The Guru'

In May 2001, Omar was approached to audition for a small cameo in a Universal Studios/Working Title Production called ‘The Guru’. Omar was cast as the Indian prince, appearing in the old-fashioned film-within-a-film that became a leitmotif in the Bollywood-infused romantic comedy. Omar was also invited to join a small team of consultants who assisted the award-winning L.A.-based choreographer of the film, Mary-Ann Kellogg, who was unfamiliar with the Bollywood genre. Omar assisted in choreographing multiple sections of the film including the old-world Bollywood segment in which he appeared on-screen, the grand Grease section featuring Heather Graham, Jimmy Mistry and a chorus of over 40 dancers, as well as the film’s finale with the entire cast of the film.
