"Working with Tom (Cruise) was a special delight. His work ethic is spectacular and it was a true honour. To choreograph one of the biggest film franchises and to represent Indian choreography on a global level has been an honour. I wish him all the best for Dead Reckoning Part One," he wrote.
Shiamak and Tom Cruise's friendship goes long back. The two met during a 3-day shoot on the sets of the 2011 spy thriller, 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol' in Dubai.
Shiamak has been said to have choreographed one of the most uplifting dance fragments of the film i.e. opulent party scene. The party scene starred Tom Cruise, Paula Patton, and Anil Kapoor wherein the dance guru fused the particular scene with his one-of-a-kind Indo-contemporary dance and Hollywood's serene filmmaking.
