In a bid to reinvent himself, actor Jaaved Jaaferi has taken up a new challenge. He is part of Mira Nair's upcoming musical, Monsoon Wedding, based on her 2001 film. "It's going to be hectic with rehearsals and daily performances," he says, adding, "I will be singing and dancing; it's a 90-minute live act."
