Remo made his debut as a director in Bollywood with 'Faltu', a fun campus film starring Jackky Bhagnani, Puja Gupta, Arshad Warsi and Ritesh Deshmukh in the lead roles.
His next film was ABCD - 'Anybody Can Dance', a 3D dance movie. It had Prabhu Deva and Ganesh Acharya in key roles and also a few participants of dance reality show 'Dance India Dance'.
Both the films had relatively new actors but despite that they managed to garner good response.
With the kind of positive response that his two films got, the industry's perception towards Remo has changed to some extent.
"Things have changed a lot. They (industry people) take me more seriously now. Earlier they thought I am just a choreographer. So when I used to tell people I want to direct films nobody took me seriously," he said.
Remo now has on hand a film backed by Karan Johar.
"I am doing action film that Karan Johar and UTV Motion Pictures are backing. This film stars Siddharth Malhotra. Then I have 'ABCD' sequel which will go on floors in December. We will more or less retain the cast - Prabhu Deva, Ganesh Acharya and others. We will also get international stars for the sequel," he said.
"Vashu Bhagnani (producer of 'Faltu') and I haven't met for long time. But 'Faltu' sequel is also in pipeline," he added.
