The Dharmesh Yelande & Punit Pathak 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. Dharmesh Yelande acted in every film; Punit Pathak acted in all of them.
Partnership facts
- Their partnership in ABCD 2 directly launched the career of dancer-choreographer Sushant Pujari — he was a background dancer in that film, and Dharmesh and Punit personally recommended him to Remo for a bigger role in Street Dancer 3D.
- On the sets of ABCD, Dharmesh and Punit shared a room for the entire shoot. They had a rule: whoever woke up first had to make chai for the other. Punit says Dharmesh never once made the tea — he always pretended to be asleep.
- Remo D'Souza cast Dharmesh and Punit together in ABCD because he wanted two dancers who could actually choreograph their own moves — not just follow steps. Dharmesh was already a known face from Dance India Dance, but Punit was a relatively unknown backup dancer until Remo paired them.
- In Street Dancer 3D, Dharmesh and Punit's rivalry scene was built on real-life tension — they deliberately didn't rehearse together for that sequence. Remo told them to channel their actual competitive energy from their early days as rival dance crew leaders on TV.
- Punit Pathak said in a 2020 interview: 'Dharmesh bhai is the reason I am in films. When Remo sir first offered me ABCD, I was scared. Dharmesh called me and said, 'Tu mere saath hai, kya dar lag raha hai?' That one line changed everything.'
