Remo D'Souza says his love for dance made him direct films
Choreographer-director Remo D'Souza, who started his career by opening a dance school 'Super Brats' here, says he owes his success in filmmaking to choreography.
"It is because of choreography that I stepped into direction. I want to do more choreography and I will never leave it," Remo D'Souza, who is awaiting the release of
Any Body Can Dance 2, told IANS.
The 43-year-old choreographer, who is an ardent fan of Michael Jackson, aces in dance forms like breakdancing and hip-hop and is popularly known for exhibiting MJ's dance moves. He says it was his love for dance that made him direct movies as then he could choreograph songs the way he wanted.
"(I took up) direction because I love choreography and I want to do songs which I love the way I want it, so if I am directing my films, I can do songs the way I want to," he added.
Remo, who is just two-films old in Bollywood, is currently waiting for the release of his film
ABCD 2, a sequel to the 2013 film
ABCD: Any Body Can Dance. He feels that there should be more dance-based movies.
"They (filmmakers) should start making dance films now and it's good that there is a new genre now. I don't know why they are not making it," he told IANS.
"Thank god, they didn't make it earlier also so that I could be the first one to make a dance based film. I see it trending and I see people liking it," added the star-choreographer, who also served as a judge on the celebrity dance show
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and a mentor in the show
Dance India Dance.
