Script, not dance behind 'ABCD 2' success: Remo D'Souza
Mumbai, June 25
"ABCD 2", starring Varun Dhawan
and Shraddha Kapoor, has 'danced' away to Rs.50 crore-plus in the first
five days of its release and its director, Remo D'Souza, credits the
film's script and not the awe-inspiring choreography for the success.
An
out-and-out dance-based film, "ABCD 2", which released June 19, has
been noticed by film buffs as well as critics for its well-shot and
beautifully choreographe dance sequences. But Remo doesn't agree with
this theory.
"'ABCD - AnyBody Can Dance' and 'ABCD 2' has
succeeded not merely because of dance, but mainly because of its good
script. Viewers have loved the story and that's why my movies have done
well at the box office. No film can do well purely on the basis of
dance," Remo said here.
Emphasising that he is not just a 'dance
film director', he cited the example of his debut directorial
"F.A.L.T.U.", and said: "I didn't start out my directorial career with a
dance film as I knew people thought a choreographer will easily make a
dance film. And even with a non-dance film, I had delivered a successful
film."
