The actress, who shook a leg in films like "Gulaal" and "Bullett Raja", said: "I have been very fond of dancing, but I never got to dance in any of my films. Music was always in the background."
"But in this film we have four to five songs. I have danced a lot in it and I have also done lip sync. It was fun," the 38-year-old told reporters Tuesday at the promo launch of the film.
Directed by Satish Kaushik, "Gang of Ghosts" is a remake of Bengali film "Bhooter Bhabishyat".
"I am playing Manoranjana Kumari, who was an actress in the 1950s, and she talks with nasal twang. Because she is an actress and a dancer, she always has that style of walking and talking," Mahie said.
Scheduled for a March 12 release, the film's impressive cast has names like Anupam Kher, Jackie Shroff, Sharman Joshi.
