Remo D’Souza and wife Lizelle strongly deny allegations of cheating dance troupe for Rs 11.96 crore: ‘I am only linked because I knew them through my show’

Choreographer and director Remo D’Souza and his wife Lizelle D’Souza have been accused of cheating a dance troupe. The couple, however, has strongly denied the accusations, stating that their names are being dragged into the controversy without any factual basis.
In a press conference on Monday, Remo expressed his disappointment, clarifying their non-involvement. “I feel very sad as there is no connection of me and Lizelle with this Rs 11.96 crore fraud case.Neither does it involve Remo D’Souza Entertainment Private Limited. Unfortunately, our names are being linked to this fraud by the media without knowing the proper facts,” he stated.
Remo elaborated on the issue, explaining that the controversy stems from the well-known dance troupe V Unbeatable, who had previously competed on his show Dance Plus Season 4 and later gained global recognition by winning America’s Got Talent. According to him, after internal disputes split the group, allegations started to fly, with one faction accusing the other. “This entire case is linked to them, and we have no involvement. I am only linked because I knew them through my show,” he explained.
He also confirmed his previous collaboration with V Unbeatable, sharing that he had planned to make a film about the group. “I signed an agreement with them and have given them money,” he added.

Lizelle D’Souza echoed her husband’s sentiments, expressing frustration over media reports that linked them to the case. She mentioned, “I have seen a video where after losing this AGT when they were sad and depressed, Remo said ‘even if you have lost I will still make a film on you’….when nobody knew them..certain media houses have just taken his name…”
In response to the swirling rumors, Remo took to social media, issuing a statement to address the allegations. He urged people not to spread misinformation and confirmed that they would fully cooperate with the authorities. “We shall put our case forward in due time and will continue to cooperate with the authorities in every way possible like we have done so far,” the statement read, thanking fans and supporters for their love and encouragement.

Remo D’Souza has been a key figure in India’s dance reality shows, including Dance India Dance, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, and Dance Plus. His first film as a director was F.A.L.T.U in 2011, which starred Jackky Bhagnani. Later, he directed films like ABCD (Anybody Can Dance), ABCD 2, Street Dancer and Race 3 starring Salman Khan.
