Choreographer Remo debuts as a director

Dubai:After Farah Khan and Ahmed khan, it is choreographer Remo D'souza who has gone behind the camera to direct a film.

He is the man behind some of the hottest steps in Bollywood, from Kaante's ishq samundar to the recently released Darling. After choreographing songs in more than 100 films in last eight years, Remo has now turned director with Bengali film Lal Paharer Katha (a story of the red hills), which is being screened at the Dubai International Film Festival.

“It is not that difficult, as I have been shooting songs for many years. It is very simple for me to shoot a film. But there was a little problem because when you are directing songs there are no dialogues, but when you are directing a film there are dialogues and emotions. So it becomes little difficult but after working in so many films this too became easy,” says Remo D'Souza, Director.

The film stars Mithun Chakraborty in a lead role and revolves around Chhou, a tribal dance form of Orissa and West Bengal. And the strange thing is that it is in Bengali, a language that Remo doesn't know much about. The story is inspired from his own life where a physically challenged kid's life started changing when Remo started teaching him dance and choreography.

“I had this story and I wanted to make it in Hindi. However, I thought that in Hindi, I would again have to resort to the Bollywood kind of art form, which has become little boring for me,” says Remo D'Souza. He adds that as he did not want to do that, he thought of working out another art form, which was a little unique. “I then checked the art forms from various regions and figured out that people don't know much about Chhou dance. However, when I learnt more about it, I was sure I wanted to go with it,” adds Remo.

Made on a budget of 1.5 crore, Remo himself has produced the film. He is planning to release the film in March.
