Actor Abhishek Bachchan will headline choreographer-turned-filmmaker Remo D'Souza’s upcoming directorial venture Be Happy, streaming platform Prime Video announced on Saturday, sharing a first-look poster of the upcoming film.
“All set to waltz right into your hearts. #BeHappyOnPrime, Coming Soon,” the streamer’s official Instagram page wrote alongside the poster.
The first-look poster also features child actress Inayat Verma, known for movies like Ludo (2020), Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (2023) and Shabaash Mithu (2022).
Inayat will portray Abhishek’s daughter in Be Happy.
The poster shows Abhishek and Inayat’s characters suspended in the air with aerial silks. Inayat is wearing a white frock, while Abhishek is dressed in an all-black outfit. It looks like a still from a contemporary dance performance.
The official synopsis of the film on IMDb reads, “Be Happy explores the journey of a single father and his talented daughter who aspire to perform on the country's biggest dance reality show.”
Actors Nora Fatehi, Johny Lever, Nassar and Amitabh Bachchan are also expected to play key roles in the upcoming Amazon Original.
The screenplay of Be Happy is developed by Remo, Kanishka Singh Deo, Chirag Garg and Tushar Hiranandani. The film is produced under Remo’s home banner R D Entertainment. Musician Harsh Upadhyay has reportedly scored the music for the upcoming film.
Reportedly the third instalment in choreographer-director Remo’s ABCD: Anybody Can Dance film franchise, Be Happy is set to premiere on Prime Video in October.
The first ABCD film was released on February 8, 2013, featuring Prabhu Deva in the lead role alongside Ganesh Acharya and Kay Kay Menon. The sequel, ABCD 2 starring Prabhu Deva, Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor, was released on June 19, 2015.
On the work front, Abhishek will also play the antagonist in filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh’s upcoming film King, which reportedly stars Shah Rukh Khan alongside his daughter Suhana Khan.
