Multi-tasker Remo D'Souza barely has time to stop and enjoy the super-success of Abcd 2. He is already planning his next film in the Abcd franchise. Taking time off for a quick conversation Remo says, "I think Siddharth Roy Kapur (producer, Utv) is planning a party. I am now thinking about the next Abcd film." Remo says, "Yes, we are now planning Abcd 3. All we know at this point of time is that it has to be even bigger, in every sense, than Part 2. When we had decided to do Part 2, we had to make sure it was several times ahead of the first film. One has to keep taking the franchise forward. Or else there is no point in doing sequels." Remo is proud of the fact that he has incepted the revival of the dance genre of filmmaking in Bollywood. "Prior to Abcd, dance films had ceased for a very long time.

This soul stirring song Aye Maalik Tere Bande Hum .... from V. Shantaram's classic film Do Aankhen Barah Haath is arguably one of the finest spiritual songs ever penned in Indian Cinema. The highpoint of this song is that even today it is sung as a morning prayer in many schools in India and believe it not, few schools in Pakistan too sing this song!
Wanna guess who wrote this marvelous song? It is a tragedy that while the song is remembered the poet, who penned it, has been faded from the memory of the people. Well, the poet is Pt. Bharat Vyas, the champion of spiritual and thought provoking lyrics. Most of his songs came straight from his heart. Aadha Hai Chandrama Raat Aadhee... (Navrang); Saranga Teri Yaad Me Nain Hue Bechain ...(Saranga); Aa Laut Ke Aaja Mere Meet... (Rani Roopmati); Nirbal Se Ladai Balvan Ki, Ye Kahani Hai Diye Ki Aur Tufaan Ki.

'In the old days all the movie songs were recorded right there on set," remembers Asha Bhosle, the quintessential Bollywood singer.

In the 68 years since, she has provided the on-screen singing voice for generations of actresses unable to capture and deliver a song as brilliantly as she could, singing around 20,000 tunes in 14 languages, as well as recording with Robbie Williams, Michael Stipe and the Kronos Quartet, and lending her name to Cornershop's Brimful of Asha, one of the landmark No 1 hits of the 1990s.
