Remo D’Souza Chats on Embracing Joy and Shaking Off the ‘Dance Film’ Label: “Dance is Not My Comfort Zone!” | Bollywood Buzz

Yeh lo, Bollywood ke dance guru Remo D’Souza is back in action, this time with an OTT debut! So, kya scene hai? Let’s dive into the world of "Be Happy," a film that’s all about daddies, daughters, and of course, dance. But wait, Remo says dance isn’t his "comfort zone"? Hain? Kya bol rahe ho, bhai? Let’s unravel this naatak, shall we? 😜

Remo D’Souza: Dance Se Director Tak Ka Safar

Remo D’Souza, the guy who can make even a non-dancer groove like a pro, started his filmy career shaking a leg in movies like Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar and Saathiya. A decade later, he decided to swap his dancing shoes for a director’s chair with Faltu. Now, he’s tapping into the OTT universe with Be Happy, a sweet concoction of a father-daughter bond served with a side of dance. But hold on—Remo says dance was never his "comfort zone". Arre, yeh toh plot twist ho gaya! 🤔

You see, Remo didn’t kick off his directorial journey with a dance flick. Nope, his first film was Faltu, an educational drama that was as far away from a dance floor as possible. But then, like a good Bollywood masala, dance just happened. "I was doing a dance reality show, and I thought, why not make a dance film since India didn’t have one?" he explains. And voila, the ABCD series was born, turning him into the king of dance films. But Remo insists he’s more than just dance moves, people! He’s made action films too, like A Flying Jatt and Race 3.

The Many Avatars of Remo

Now, Remo’s a one-man show—choreographer, reality show judge, and director. But if you ask him to pick his fav role, he’ll say directing without batting an eyelid. Why? Because directing lets him choreograph the way he wants, without kisi aur ka interference. That’s the beauty of Be Happy for him. Remo got to choreograph Abhishek Bachchan in his own style. Kitna cool hai na?

Be Happy: A Cute Story with a Dance Twist

Be Happy is all about a papa who learns to dance for his beti’s dream. Remo says it’s less about the dance and more about the feels. "It’s a cute father-daughter story," he says. Dance is just the tadka on top. And get this, the daughter (Inaayat Verma) doesn’t find her dad (Abhishek) cool. Remo laughs and says, "At home, you’re just a dad, not the TV star with fans chasing you for autographs. It’s a great reality check." Arre, such honesty! 😂

Oh, and did I mention the film also stars the ever-gorgeous Nora Fatehi and the talented Nassar? Mark your calendars, folks—Be Happy drops on Amazon Prime Video on March 14!

Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood Ki Asli Dance Kahani

Bollywood mein ek hee rule hai, doston: Jo dikhta hai woh bikta hai! Dance ya drama, Remo knows how to package it all. Aur agar life mein kabhi bore ho jao, just learn a new dance move; it might just make you the next Bollywood sensation! Or at least, keep you "Be Happy"! 😉
