Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that celebrated choreographer and director Remo Dsouza has officially commenced work on his next big dance film project. Speculations are rife that this highly anticipated venture could potentially be titled ABCD 3, marking a potential continuation of his iconic 'Any Body Can Dance' franchise.
The Enduring Legacy of the ABCD Franchise Remo Dsouza revolutionized the dance film genre in India with ABCD – Any Body Can Dance (2013). Despite featuring no popular star cast and releasing alongside big films like Akshay Kumar's Special 26, it garnered an impressive Rs. 5.50 crores opening and went on to collect Rs. 45.50 crores lifetime. Its success was attributed to its unique theme, strategic promotions, strong youth appeal, and chartbuster music. The sequel, ABCD – Any Body Can Dance – 2 (2015), starring Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor, elevated the franchise further, crossing the prestigious Rs. 100 crore mark at the box office.
A Fresh Vision for the Next Generation This upcoming dance film will be produced by Amit Chandrra of Trigger Happy Studios. Sources indicate that Remo Dsouza and his team have developed a compelling concept and are currently in the screenplay development phase. Remo is reportedly keen on adapting to the evolving audience landscape, particularly considering the tastes and exposure of Gen Z and Gen Alpha. His vision for the new project is deeply rooted in understanding contemporary dance forms and consumption patterns, ensuring the film resonates with today's youth.
Potential Return of Original Characters Intriguing rumors also suggest that the film might serve as a direct continuation of the first ABCD installment, potentially bringing back beloved characters from ABCD – Any Body Can Dance. While Bollywood Hungama could not independently verify this exciting claim at the time of publication, the prospect of original cast members returning adds another layer of anticipation for fans of the franchise.
