Prabhu Deva’s ‘ABCD’ To Recreate ‘Muqabla’ Magic

January 9, 2013

MukalaMumbai, Jan 9: If recent reports are to be believed, we may just see Bollywood’s legendary choreographer, recently-turned director and actor Prabhu Deva burn up the dance floor once again, and reprise his role as India’s Michael Jackson, with a ‘Muqabla’ remix in ‘Any Body Can Dance’ (ABCD).

Flashback: In 1994, Prabhu Deva performed an impeccable, unbelievably foot-tapping, mind-boggling dance in the film ‘Humse Hai Muqabla’. That dance heralded Prabhu Deva as India’s answer to dancing legend Michael Jackson. And now, nearly 20 years later, Prabhu Deva is all set to reinvent his famous dance song in his upcoming 3-D dance film ‘Any Body Can Dance’. The film’s makers have bought the official rights to remake the song, and are all set to enthrall fans once again with Prabhu Deva’s awe-inspiring, imitable ‘invisible’ dance, where only his feet and hat grooved to the beats.

We caught up with Prabhu Deva the actor and his choreographer-director friend Remo D’Souza at a promotional event for ‘Any Body Can Dance’ in Matunga, Mumbai recently. The duo was present with the dancing stars of the film, and spoke about the need for a dedicated dance film in India, along the lines of ‘Step Up’ and ‘Honey’. Dressed in all black, the cast of ‘Any Body Can Dance’ looked like they meant business, and even showed off some killer dance moves at the promotional event.

How could we let the man of the moment, Remo D’Souza go without hearing his thoughts on the inclusion of ‘Muqabla’ in ‘Any Body Can Dance’? Remo looked extremely excited and pleased when he said, “It is an iconic song and Prabhu Deva’s dance made it what it became – a rage. We have got the rights and are using it for the promotions of ABCD. It will be the first song to come out. Watch out for it.”

Mumbai, Jul 19: Mumbai Police have registered an FIR against two Instagram account holders for allegedly threatening actor Rhea Chakraborty, an official said on Sunday.

The location of the two accused is yet to be traced, the official said, adding that the investigation in the case is at primary stage.

Chakraborty on Thursday requested the cyber crime cell to look into the rape and murder threats she has been receiving ever since the death of close friend, actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

Rajput, 34, was found dead in his apartment in suburban Bandra here on June 14, leaving people in the film industry and audiences shocked.

Chakraborty, in particular, was subjected to online hate with users blaming her for Rajput's suicide.

"We registered the First Information Report (FIR) on Saturday under Indian Penal Code Sections 507 (criminal intimidation by an anonymous communication), 509 (intending to insult modesty of any woman) and relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act," Santacruz police station's senior inspector Shriram Koregaonkar said.

"No arrest has been made so far. We are conducting an investigation in the case," he added.

On Thursday, sharing a screenshot of a hate message she received on Instagram, Chakraborty said while she had ignored many abusive texts sent to her in the past month, the harassment was now unbearable.

The 28-year-old actor eventually disabled the comments section of her Instagram page.

Chakraborty, known for films such as "Mere Dad Ki Maruti" and "Jalebi", had tagged the cyber cell and requested the authorities to look into the threats.

On June 18, she was called to the Bandra police station to record her statement in connection with Rajput's death.
