Remo wrote A Flying Jatt script before directorial debut

Director Remo D'Souza says he penned the story of an innocent superhero in ‘A Flying Jatt’ even before his directorial debut in 2011. "I had written this script long back. I had this script even before I started directing. So, this was my first script," Remo told reporters at the trailer launch of ‘A Flying Jatt’ in Mumbai recently.

The ‘ABCD’ helmer wanted his superhero to be innocent, and he felt actor Tiger Shroff fit the bill. "I wanted a superhero, who is innocent, adorable and someone who is just like us (common man)... who has powers, but doesn't know how to use it. I wanted an innocent face, but when he does action he should look like a superhero, and who better than Tiger Shroff (for this film)," Remo said.

In the film, Tiger plays a Sikh superhero. Remo revealed he has shown the strength and importance of turban through Tiger's character. "It's not just the story of a superhero but also about a boy finding out his identity of being a Sikh," the director said.
