Dancer, choreographer, and digital content creator Sandip Brahamin has publicly accused Housefull 5 choreographer Remo D’Souza of copying one of his signature dance moves for the film’s song ‘Laal Pari’, without giving him credit.
The allegation was made through an Instagram video that Sandip shared recently, reigniting the debate around creative plagiarism in the entertainment industry.
About a month ago, after the song was unveiled, Sandip called out the choreographer for copying his original steps without attribution. In the video, he specifically addressed the resemblance of moves in ‘Laal Pari’ to a sequence from one of his older dance clips. He said in the video, “You all have seen my signature moves. My move has been copied in Housefull 5 song Laal Pari. Many of my friends DMed me on Instagram. Therefore, I rechecked on Instagram and YouTube. They’ve neither mentioned me nor have they given me credit. I don’t know what is happening.”
The video also included side-by-side comparisons showing lead actors Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Riteish Deshmukh performing the contested step, followed by footage of Sandip performing what he claims to be the original choreography. The similarity between the moves has led many online viewers to question if the creative team behind the film should have acknowledged Sandip’s work.
