The Prabhu Deva & Dharmesh Yelande partnership
From ABCD Any Body Can Dance (2013) to Street Dancer 3D (2020). It started with ABCD Any Body Can Dance (2013).
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to ABCD 2; the 2020s to Street Dancer 3D. Prabhu Deva acted in every film; Dharmesh Yelande acted in all of them.
Partnership facts
- Dharmesh Yelande was a backup dancer on a TV show where Prabhu Deva was a judge. Prabhu spotted him, pulled him aside, and said, 'You're coming with me to Mumbai.' That's how Dharmesh landed his first film role in ABCD.
- In ABCD 2, Prabhu Deva choreographed the complex group sequences but let Dharmesh Yelande design his own solo breakdance battle. Dharmesh's raw, street-style moves gave the film a grittier edge that Prabhu's polished style alone couldn't have pulled off.
- Their partnership in Street Dancer 3D directly launched the career of dancer-actor Raghav Juyal. Prabhu cast him on Dharmesh's recommendation after they worked together on a dance reality show. Raghav now has a solid Bollywood career.
- On the sets of all three films, Prabhu Deva and Dharmesh Yelande had a running bet: whoever messed up a step first during rehearsal had to buy chai for the entire crew. Dharmesh claims he lost every single time.
- Dharmesh Yelande once said about Prabhu Deva: 'He doesn't just teach you steps. He teaches you how to fall and get back up in front of a camera. That's why I trust him blindly.'
