People want me to direct only dance films: Remo D'Souza

Remo D'Souza says he at times feel caught in tion that being a choreographer he could only do justice to direction if making a dance-based film. 

Remo me his feature directorial debut with "F.A.L.T.U" (2011), which was a hit, his next two releases "ABCD: Any Body Can Dance" (2013), "ABCD 2" (2015) were huge blockbusters. But his 2016 superhero film "A Flying Jatt", featuring Tiger Shroff, and Salman Khan-starrer "Race 3" (2018) both failed to strike a chord with audience, despite having top stars.

"I think people want me to do only dance films. 'A Flying Jatt' is close to my heart because it h a solid mess but sly it did t work and this is all part of industry," Remo told PTI in an interview here. "re are people who say se films ('A Flying Jatt', 'Race 3') were t my forte. How can you decide it is t my forte? A director has forte. A director can direct any film, if it is t successful n that doesn't mean that this is t his forte. People believe I am good at dance films as I have great kwledge about it," he ded.
