Mission Kashmir’s dance number Rind Posh Maal featuring Hrithik Roshan, catapulted choreographers Bosco-Caesar into limelight. Like other choreographers, including Farah Khan, Ahmed Khan and Remo DSouza, Bosco Martis will progress to film direction with his debut film Rocket Gang, a horror dance-comedy.

Talking about his directorial debut, which stars Aditya Seal and Nikita Dutta, Bosco says, “In spite of the pandemic, we sailed through, battling all the challenges that were thrown our way. Every time we shot for Rocket Gang, we were extra cautious and ensured all the social distancing norms were followed. I always wanted to direct a genre-defining movie. As a director, the story to me is most important. I was certain that the movie I wanted to make would be extremely entertaining and involve a lot of dancing. I think this will be the first time that the Indian audience is going to see this combination of horror, dance and comedy. When I say horror, it’s not scary horror, but there’s a little bit of fantasy involved.”

He adds, “We have a solid group of choreographers-turned-directors who have had a fabulous run at entertaining the country. Farah Khan, Remo DSouza and Ahmed Khan are successful choreographers who have turned directors and delivered massive hits. I’m glad that I have the opportunity to join the bandwagon, but there’s no pressure at all. I am looking forward to entertaining the country with my stories which I’m sure is every filmmaker’s goal.”

Speaking about his favourite dancers from the industry, Bosco shares, “There are a lot of good dancers in the industry — Hrithik Roshan, Shahid Kapoor, Tiger Shroff. I also feel Ranbir Kapoor is a very natural dancer, and the way he performs is effortless. Prabhudheva is a legendary dancer from the Indian fraternity who completely blew my mind. I would record his videos and try to copy his moves. They’re all great dancers. They have their unique styles.”
