One of the best dancers of our time, Prabhu Dheva says he had a tough time keeping up with the steps that his choreographer colleague Remo D’Souza gave him in ABCD 2.
"It was really tough," he says. "Those steps are meant for athletes and dancers far younger than me. I had a really hard time trying to handle those steps. But you have to see how good Varun Dhawan and Shradha Kapoor are with Remo’s intricate steps. This kind of dancing has never been seen before in our films. Varun and Shraddha have worked really hard on their dancing. These kids know they have to be as close to perfect as they can get."
Prabhu Dheva will face the camera for the first time since ABCD was released two years ago.
"Dancing and choreography are my main passions," he adds. "They’re the reason I live. After that comes direction, and then acting. Facing the camera for ABCD 2 was a challenge because there was lots of dancing and drama. The film has a very high emotional quotient."
"I've done a song in 3D for a film, that's it. ABCD is my first-full-length 3D film. That's why it's fun and challenging," he says.
Though it’s hard to believe Prabhu says he has not contributed to the dancing or direction of ABCD 2. "That's the way it is every time I face the camera. I leave the choreography and dancing to others. Whether it is dancing or emoting, I’ve done exactly what Remo told me."
Prabhu plays the same character that he did in ABCD. "I play a dance teacher named Vishnu again. But the character is in a different situation here."
