Remo made his directorial debut with the 2011 film F.A.L.T.U. The film was quite forgettable but with songs like “Chaar Baj Gaye”, the film gained some popularity. Remo’s next was ABCD: Any Body Can Dance in 2013. This was a dance film and Remo was playing to his strengths here. The film saw a sequel starring Varun Dhawan in 2015. A Flying Jatt starring Tiger Shroff was Remo’s directorial venture in 2016 but failed to garner appreciation from the audience. Race 3 is Remo’s fifth film as a director and he will soon be directing a dance film with Salman Khan.

Not just Remo D’Souza, there have been other choreographers who turned directors and have delivered successful films.Prabhudheva is known for his excellent dancing skills. He has been a performer and choreographer in films since the early 90s but it was in 2005 that he turned director with the Telugu film Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana. Since then, Prabhudheva has directed various Telugu, Tamil and Hindi films. The 2009 film Wanted was his first Hindi film and in many ways, this film brought back the charisma of Salman Khan. Prabhudheva is currently working on the third film in the Dabangg franchise.
Farah started her career as a choreographer with 1992 film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar and has since been working extensively in Hindi films. Farah turned director with the 2004 film Main Hoon Na that starred Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. Since then, Farah has directed Om Shanti Om, Tees Maar Khan and Happy New Year.

He turned to the director’s chair with the 2004 film Lakeer and proceeded to direct more films like Paathshaala and Ek Paheli Leela. Ahmed’s last outing as director was the box office success Baaghi 2 starring Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani.The National Award-winning choreographer turned director with the 2007 film Swami starring Juhi Chawla and Manoj Bajpayee.
