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 18: Filmmaker and Yash Raj Films (YRF) chairman Aditya Chopra on Saturday recorded his statement with the Mumbai Police in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput death case, an official said.

Police have sought information about a contract signed between Rajput and YRF from Chopra who visited Versova police station this morning and left after four hours, the official said.

The "Chhichore" actor, 34, was found hanging at his apartment in Mumbai on June 14. No suicide note was found from the spot by the police.

The police are investigating allegations that professional rivalry, besides clinical depression, drove the actor to suicide.

Police are also trying to understand the reason behind Rajput ending his contract with YRF, the official said.

Earlier, the police had recorded statement of YRF's casting director Shanoo Sharma.

The police had recorded statements of 34 persons, including Rajput's family members and close friends like actors Rhea Chakraborty and Sanjana Sanghi, in connection with the case.

Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Friday dismissed the need for a CBI probe into the death case of Rajput, saying the Mumbai police are capable of handling the matter.

On Thursday, Rhea Chakraborty demanded a CBI inquiry to understand what "pressures" prompted Rajput to take the extreme step of suicide.

Rajput starred in films such as Shuddh Desi Romance', Raabta, Kedarnath and Sonchiriya. But his most prominent role came as cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the biopic, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story.

Los Angeles, May 2: Pop diva Madonna has revealed that she has tested positive for the COVID-19 anitbodies.

The singer shared the news in the 14th edition of her “Quarantine Diary” on Instagram TV.

“Took a test the other day and I found out that I have the antibodies. So tomorrow I’m just going to go for a long drive in the car, and I’m gonna roll down the window and I’m gonna breathe in the COVID-19 air. Yup. I hope the sun is shining,” Madonna said.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), US, antibody tests are used to determine whether or not a person has been exposed to COVID-19 by finding proteins the body produces to fight the virus.

However, the CDC has yet to confirm if the possession of antibodies is equal to immunity.
