Quotes from Remo D'Souza

If you don't take a risk, you will not be satisfied and happy. I think one must look at creating history.

'A Flying Jatt' is a good superhero with no dark side. So, it is all good vs. all bad without any shades of grey.

My chemistry with Salman goes long back, and we have a great equation. Doing a film with him is no less than a dream.

I will never leave choreography and will keep doing songs, too.

The perception that 'Indians can't make superhero films' needs to change. We can make superhero films in the budgets given to us.

I had no confusion about making a superhero film. From the very day one, I knew I will make a movie of this genre which will have an Indian superhero. I never wanted to copy my superhero from any of the Hollywood ones.

I want to create a superhero... which everyone will say that we have a superhero called 'A Flying Jatt'.

If I can make a dance-based movie like 'ABCD', then I was sure I could make a superhero movie, too.

The prime reason behind making 'A Flying Jatt' was that there are barely any 'desi' superhero films in Bollywood which Indians can relate to. I wanted to exhibit that a superhero is more than just superpowers and leads a normal life like the others do. I wanted to attach a human factor to a superhero.

Hollywood and Bollywood films cannot be compared because of their budgets!

I never compromise with my work.

I believe that reality shows are extremely important for the talented. Contestants get a platform where they can prove their talent. If they are good at what they do, their life is made. Personally, reality shows have helped me get fame and money.

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.

I have made movies on education and dance, have directed and choreographed legends of Bollywood. Now, I want to make a movie on martial arts. I myself am a black belt, so I am looking forward to do something on this.

The good part is once I start directing, I can choose the songs I want to do. I'm just selective now when it comes to choreography.

It's not necessary that every film that I direct will have dance in it. I would love to explore different areas.

'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.

Only directors like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who make period films, have songs in their movies that facilitate the inclusion of classical dance forms. No one else is concentrating on making pure classical numbers.

No film can do well purely on the basis of dance.

Choreography is something that I am always going to take up, and it will be on the forefront.

I look forward to 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' every year because the format of the show is really nice - celebrities coming in and competing with each other. The main reason I do it is Madhuri Dixit. I am a big fan, and I sit next to her, so it's like a dream.

Even after choreographing some big numbers, I didn't qualify as the top choreographer. You need to have godfathers and big people to support you for others to take you seriously.

I entered the film industry as a background dancer and then gradually rose step by step. Now I am a judge and a filmmaker, but amongst everything, my personal favourite continues to be dancing, as it is what has led me to the rest.
