The famous Choreographer-filmmaker Remo D’Souza remembers the conversation he once had with SSR when the actor expressed his desire to do a ‘dance film’ with him. He also added saying that he wished he could have done the film and said he still gets ‘goosebumps’ thinking of that conversation.
Remo praised Sushant saying he was an ‘amazing dancer’ and ‘owned the stage each time he stepped on it.’ He also added that he was a blend of both a born and a trained dancer.
While Remo was in conversation with a leading daily, he said, “Sushant wanted to do a dance film. When he had come to my show, Dance+, for the promotion of one of his movies, he had asked me to work on a dance film with him. I wish I could have.” Recalling their last meeting, Remo also said, “Sushant had casually told me, ‘Sir, you know I am a good dancer, let’s do a dance film together.’ I get goosebumps when I think of that conversation.”
The late Bollywood actor was a participant in the fourth season of a dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (JDJ) and had won the position of the first-runner up. Remo was one of the judges of the show leading dance reality show and he said, “Sushant was an amazing dancer. Right from his first performance on JDJ, we knew he had the potential to win. To me, he was a winner. In fact, I was surprised he lost. He was such a good-looking boy, who owned the stage each time he stepped on it…I’ve always believed that either you are a born dancer or you are a trained dancer. Sushant was a blend of both. He was the perfect mix, someone who learned different forms and performed them with perfection. You could see the finish and finesse, something that I saw while he scorched the JDJ dance floor.”
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14 last year. Meanwhile, Remo D’Souza last directed the movie ‘Street Dancer.’
