The king of Indian dance films, Remo D’Souza, is officially stepping back onto the floor. After months of speculation, reports have surfaced that the ace choreographer-turned-director has begun development on the much-anticipated third installment of the Any Body Can Dance (ABCD) franchise.
While the first two films redefined the dance genre in Bollywood, ABCD 3 is reportedly being built on a “cracked idea” that aims to bridge the gap between classic underdog stories and the fast-paced digital era of 2026.
According to industry insiders, the upcoming project, produced by Amit Chandrra of Trigger Happy Studios, isn’t just a sequel in name. There is heavy buzz that the film will serve as a direct continuation of the 2013 original. Fans can expect to see the return of the beloved “original gang”—the raw, talented dancers who first made ABCD a cult hit—reprising their roles over a decade later.
While the core of the franchise has always been about the “underdog,” Remo is reportedly adding a futuristic twist to keep up with Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences. Sources suggest the plot will revolve around a Human vs. Machine dance battle.
In a world where AI-generated choreography and holographic performers are becoming the norm, the original ABCD crew must come out of retirement to prove that “soul” and “human emotion” cannot be coded. This pivot from a standard dance competition to a battle for the relevance of human art is expected to be the film’s emotional anchor.
While an official cast list is still under wraps, the industry is buzzing with possibilities:
The Veterans: Rumors suggest a reunion of the original cast members who started the journey in 2013.
The New Blood: To appeal to younger viewers, the production is reportedly scouting for viral internet dancers and global “street” style experts.
Behind the Lens: Remo D’Souza and his team are currently refining the screenplay, focusing on how dance consumption has shifted toward short-form video platforms and global performance formats.
“Remo is fully aware that the audience has evolved. They don’t just want to see dance; they want to see how dance survives in a changing world,” a source close to the project revealed.
With ABCD 3, Remo D’Souza isn’t just making a movie; he’s attempting to reclaim his throne as the pioneer of the Indian dance film. If the “AI twist” lands as intended, it could be the most experimental entry in the franchise to date.
