The trailer of Abhishek Bachchan’s dance-drama Be Happy was unveiled by the makers on Monday. Directed by Remo D’Souza, the film also stars Nora Fatehi, Nassar, Inayat Verma, Johnny Lever and Harleen Sethi in pivotal roles.
The trailer introduces Shiv (Abhishek) as a single father raising his daughter, who has a deep passion for dancing. She is selected to compete for a reality dance show and has to go to Mumbai but Shiv doesn’t allow at first. However, he is convinced by her and her grandfather, played by Nassar. Later, Shiv has to do a duet dance with her as part of the competition and is taught dancing by Nora’s character. There are some glimpses in the trailer of Shiv trying to dance and it ends with showing him wearing traditional costume and doing a folk dance.
Speaking of his character, Abhishek said, “Playing Shiv was an emotional journey, as he is a father fighting against time and fate to make his daughter’s dream come true. Be Happy is more than just a movie; it's a powerful testament to resilience—reminding us that the bravest thing we can do is keep moving forward, even when life's toughest moments try to hold us back, much like in dance. The film owes its heart and soul to Remo's vision and expertise. His ability to weave depth and emotion into every scene is unparalleled, and I believe the audience will feel a profound connection to the story and its characters.”
Nora added, “Portraying a dancer was especially meaningful to me, as it allowed me to merge my two greatest passions—acting and dancing. I’ve always enjoyed working with children, and it was wonderful to see Inayat bring such authenticity to her character. Sharing the screen with Abhishek Bachchan was a fantastic experience—his dedication and focus elevated every scene. Reuniting with Remo D’Souza, a visionary director and renowned choreographer, was equally inspiring.”
The film is produced by Lizelle Remo D’Souza under the banner of Remo Dsouza Entertainment Pvt Ltd and will be released on Prime Video on March 14.
