Choreographer-turned-filmmaker Remo D’souza, who is currently seen judging the popular Star Plus show Dance+ 4, will soon start work on his next film ABCD 3. As the title suggests itself, the dance drama movie is the next instalment of his highly successful film franchise ABCD (2013). It will be headlined by Varun Dhawan and Katrina Kaif, who are coming together for the very first time.
The latest we hear that the dance flick will also mark the big screen debut of D’souza’s protégées Shakti Mohan and Vartika Jha. Besides them, an international dancer will also join the ensemble cast to begin his or her journey in showbiz.
“Remo has been in talks with popular international dancers to feature opposite Varun. The chosen dancer, who is expected to be finalised soon, will have a significant role in the film,” divulges a source close to the development.
Varun and Katrina will start preparing for ABCD 3 by November-end and the film hits the shooting floor early next year. After canning the first schedule in Punjab, the team will reach London for the next schedule.
“I am launching Shakti and Vartika, whose performances I have loved. I had promised to launch Shakti long ago but it didn’t happen, so this was the perfect opportunity. It’s too early to reveal other details, but we start in Punjab and have a major shoot in London next year. Varun and Katrina are fantastic performers and so are the rest of the team,” Remo said.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
