    Disney UTV signs Remo D’Souza for a two-film deal

    MUMBAI: Disney UTV has signed choreographer-turned-director Remo D‘Souza for a two film deal.

    One of the films is likely to be the sequel of ABCD – Any Body Can Dance which is directed by Remo and stars Prabhudheva, Ganesh Acharya, Dharmesh, Prince, Mayuresh and Vrushali and Lauren Gottlieb (the finalist of the popular international television dance talent show So You Think You Can Dance) besides Dance India Dance winners Salman Khan.

    Said Disney UTV Managing Director – Studios, Siddharth Roy Kapur, “Remo is of course a gifted choreographer but as Prabhudheva said after working with him, he is an even better director. We have had a wonderful experience with Remo on ABCD. The film showcases his amazing ability to thrill and entertain his audience while at the same time to handle emotion and drama with sensitivity and depth.

    He has worked with a team of superb dancers and brought out the actor in each of them. To shoot a grueling dance film at this massive scale in 3D is not an easy job, but Remo coupled his talent and ability with patience and perseverance to make a superb film. We‘re thrilled to be continuing our association with him, and here‘s to making many more great movies together!”

    Averred Remo, “UTV has whole-heartedly backed my vision of making India‘s first ever 3D dance film ABCD. They were kicked about the project from the word go and I‘m really happy I had them as my producer. It‘s important for a producer to trust his director, trust the vision and UTV has done just that.

    I‘m really excited that I have been offered two more films under the UTV banner – one which could be the sequel to ABCD – which I‘m currently working upon. UTV and I have had a super journey and we are only strengthening our bond now. We will do some great work together.”

    Bringing together the best of both worlds, the Walt Disney Studios and UTV Motion Pictures have formed one of the leading film studios in India, the activities of which spans across creative development, production, marketing, distribution, licensing, merchandising and syndication of films in India and the world.”

    Says Vh1 India VP and GM Keertan Adyanthaya, “Whether it’s in tune with the new appetite for bling, or increased spending, or just a trend that’s invading the world, hip hop is coming into its own in the country. 

    “Our show of the same name Vh1 Hip Hop Hustle which airs at Saturday 10 pm also has had great response and this way viewers can get the hip hop experience both on air and on ground.”

    Speaking on the previous year’s experience, “Last year’s Vh1 Hip Hop Hustle act Flipsyde was fairly new on the scene and their visit to India was successful enough for them to make a repeat visit this year. Now, we feel that India’s hip hop scene is ready for the hardcore of hip hop. So it’s going to be either D12, Mobb Deep or Obie Trice. We’re not telling yet!”

    Leading the way for the D12 / Mobb Deep / Obie Trice performances is DJ Whoo Kid, Best Hip Hop Mixtape DJ 2004 and the official tour DJ for 50 Cent and his label G-Unit. He will perform in Mumbai on 19th October and in Delhi on 20th October.

    Then a week later, make way for UK’s Scratch who will perform at Enigma in Mumbai on 26 October and in Delhi on 28 October. Scratch is resident DJ of UK’s biggest and 10 year old hip hop night.
