Choreographer-film director Remo D'Souza, whose latest directorial is "Race 3" -- an action-packed thriller starring Salman Khan -- says making movies of different genres has helped him grow as a creative individual and explore storytelling beyond dance. Counted among one of the celebrated choreographers of the Hindi film industry today, Remo told IANS: "Dance is a comfort zone for me. I am the hero there; but filmmaking is more challenging and that helps me to grow as a creative person."

In the past, Remo has directed films like "F.A.L.T.U" and "ABCD: Any Body Can Dance". But he says he wanted to go beyond the world of dance. "This is challenging to an extent where I, as a director, explored the power of movie stars, technicality, camera angle, great locations, action and choreography that make the characters larger than life. I also explored the power of storytelling where I had to keep the suspense alive till the end. I think the experience of working in this film uplifted me a lot as a creative individual," Remo said.
