Choreographer turned director Remo D'Souza is currently the talk of the town with the immense success of his film ABCD . While the makers of the film are planning a sequel, Remo on the other hand is looking much ahead. In fact Remo is looking at remaking the 1959 film Navrang . Confirming the news Remo says, "Yes, I am currently in talks to acquire the rights of the film. However apart from this there is nothing much to say...I have always wanted to remake the film, hence I am trying to get the rights." As for whether the film will be produced by UTV again, Remo says, "Currently we are working out the sequel to ABCD , post that I will think of making Navrang if I get the rights. However it is very early to talk about who will produce the film." Navrang, noted for its dance sequences with lead actress Sandhya and music by C. Ramchandra that released in 1959 was India's first colour movie directed by the legendary V. Shantaram.
