Remo D’Souza to make dance-based film
MUMBAI: Choreographer Remo D`Souza, who shot into limelight with Ram Gopal Varma`s Rangeela among others, wants to make his next film based on dance and cast Hrithik Roshan or Shahid Kapoor for it.
Said D`Souza in a statement, “My next film will be based on street dance something similar to Step Up. The concept is ready and I am planning to begin shooting the film in May or June. I think Hrithik and Shahid are great dancers and they can pull it off very well.”
D`Souza’s first film as a director is the upcoming film F.A.L.T.U, releasing on 1 April. It deals about the education system in the country where there is no place for the average students, who are often marginalised by the system.
“I want to spread the message that such people should be allowed to indulge in a field of their choice. Just follow your dreams is the message I want to send to all,” he stated.
D`Souza, named Ramesh Gopi in real life, has been the man behind making Akshay Kumar dance to his tunes in the recent Patiala House.
D`Souza, whose forte is Hip-Hop, loves Indian classical dance. He became a household name with the dance reality show Dance India Dance (DID), in which he was one of the judges besides choreographers Geeta Kapoor and Terrence Lewis.
He will be seen again in the third season of the show. “I will come back in the third season of Dance India Dance. I do not consider DID Juniors and Doubles as a part to the actual concept. I am associated with DID singles which we started,” he said.
With more than half a dozen guest appearances by hit stars, his debut is set to release on 1 April.

The film will stream exclusively on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
The movie reimagines the classic murder mystery genre with a contemporary, darkly comic edge. It revolves around a group of friends and family who smile, drink, and celebrate together until the silence snaps and long-buried secrets spill out. The stellar ensemble cast includes Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Waluscha De Sousa, Saurabh Shukla, Chandrachoor Rai, Neil Bhoopalam, Koel Purie, Palomi Ghosh, and Rajat Kapoor himself.

Applause Entertainment business head for movies Sunil Chainani added, “This film adds yet another compelling layer to our slate with Rajat Kapoor’s unmistakable voice.”
Rajat Kapoor shared, “What interested me was not just the mechanics of a whodunnit, but the emotional violence that precedes physical violence. These are people who smile at each other, but there’s so much that is not said.”
The film promises razor-sharp writing, layered performances, and simmering tension, inviting viewers not just to solve the crime but to unravel the complex relationships at its heart.
If you love a good murder mystery served with wit and emotional depth, Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa looks set to be your next addictive watch. Mark your calendars, the whodunnit drops on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
