Remo D’Souza Praises PM Modi: ‘His Moves Always Serve India’s Interests’
1 min readFilmmaker Remo D’Souza stepped into the spotlight beyond cinema, firmly backing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership amid public debates. At a Mumbai event, he told IANS that the PM’s decisions on key national matters are beyond reproach, always prioritizing the greater good.
‘Running a country requires real-world insight, which PM Modi possesses in abundance,’ Remo remarked. ‘Whether advising on gold savings, oil usage, or overseas travel, his words carry the weight of careful deliberation. Small players like me shouldn’t second-guess them.’
The occasion allowed Remo to honor his industry’s influential network, particularly his longstanding bonds with producers like Vashu Bhagnani and Ramesh Taurani. His first film ‘Faltu’ marked his directorial entry, while ‘Race 3’—featuring Salman Khan—cemented his industry ties.
From humble beginnings as a background dancer, Remo’s rise culminated in ‘Faltu,’ a 2011 hit critiquing rote learning and campus culture. The story tracks low-scorers launching a sham college, revealing their talents, with standout performances by Jackie Bhagnani, Arshad Warsi, Ritesh Deshmukh, and Boman Irani.
This celebrity nod to political leadership underscores a pattern where entertainment icons amplify messages of national unity. Remo’s stance could inspire more industry voices to engage positively with governance, fostering a dialogue on progress and patriotism.
